This is why I said "if it's got a user-friendly valve," like if you press a button (and a stream shoots up to your lips to drink), wiggle a stem so water falls down (on your hands to wash), step on a lever (and the flow begins)...yeah, these things have a knob / lever / valve (maybe it rotates, maybe it needs to be "pressed"): these are water_taps. You might wash your hands, you might flow gently upwards in an arc for your lips, you might cause a light flow to drip or flow downward. The "valve" (of many sorts), makes it a "tap." _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
