That's what drinking_water=yes is used for, right? In Britain, you don't use drinking_water=yes, in Portugal (or whatever country it may be) we use amenity=fountain (which is always decorative/ornamental/historic, so it fits your conception of fountain) AND drinking_water=yes. For me, it's simple. I don't see any issue with that.

A person outside Europe will still find what she/he wants by searching the tag fountain, either with OR without drinking_water. How? I go to your country looking for drinking water and all I see on the map are ornamental fountains because that's what "fountain" means to me. You come to the UK looking for drinking water and drink from an ornamental fountain that doesn't doesn't supply drinkable water because that's what "fountain" means to you. This way madness lies.
