I'm personally a fan of the namespace scheme, the one with the ":"
separating parts of a tag. You'll find this e.g. on addresses:
addr:street=*
addr:city=*
addr:housenumber=*
...
Or also for parking situations:
parking:lane=*
parking:lane:left=*
parking:condition=*
...
This semantic separation of a key creates a nice structure and organizes
this huge collection of possible tags into groups.

Because the beginning of these two tags are the same, for me personally
it's a reason to change them into "free_water:..." tags.
Using this scheme, I can also imagine the following tags (just ideas,
the keys and values are probably not optimal):
free_water=<yes/no/customers>
free_water:container=<customer/supplier/both>
free_water:table=<yes/no>
(maybe more...)
However, in the end, there must probably be a tag proposal (a wiki page
describing how the final tags should look like, what they exactly mean,
when to use them, what use-cases do they have, etc.). Everybody can vote
for or against the proposal, therefore it's in the end on the community
to decide what tags become "official".
