That just says if you can get a wheelchair into the toilet.

No more anecdotal than anything else anybody maps.

And how about those with achondroplasia?

To be honest, I doubt many mappers would bother mapping the height and it's
probably not all that useful in most situations.  But the fact that
somebody here
suggested it means it is likely that somebody will decide to map the
height, in which
case let's decide how to do it now.

Security through obscurity doesn't work.  As for promoting it or not, it
depends very much on
what editors offer in their presets.

Actually, no.  It's can we expect it on an irregular basis.  Because
description is only rarely
necessary for anything.

access=* don't said anything about public view.

I already suggested that in private mail  to Valor for other reasons.  The
developers of
some editors don't like re-using keys with a subset of values and remove
such usage from
presets.  If offering the full list of values doesn't make sense they
either have to hard-code the
exceptions or refuse to implement it in a preset, and these days it's
usually refusal.  And, as
you've pointed out, not only does the syntax differ (only a subset of
values make sense) so does
the semantics.  So changing_table:access would be better.
