In parts of Britain 'football' is rugby ...
For some people in Australia 'football' is soccer, others rugby, others
AFL (OSM 'australian_football').

There is a broad consensus that the language for OSM tags is British
English. Using a non-BE word for a tag because it is used in
Australia
while a synonymous BE word exists, would be the same using a Xhosa,
Portuguese or Korean word, just because it exists.
I know there are a few exceptions like sport=soccer, footway=sidewalk
and sidewalk=*, but I think this kind of exceptions shouldn't be made
without a very good reason.

This fails to consider the supply of water that is not drinkable ...
thus complicating the tagging.
So I have revised this in another message.
