a tag for drinking fountains should definitely imply drinking_water=yes,
but amenity=fountain should not imply any default value for
"drinking_water", it should be checked and tagged explicitly. Expectations
change around the globe and while it could be approached with national or
regional defaults, I think it is better to be explicit (because a missing
value is not clear, can be default or unknown, and potability of water is
super important in this context).

yes, water taps on cemeteries, as far as I recall, have been the initial
reason for introducing man_made=water_tap (some people had started mapping
amenity=drinking_water drinking_water=no ;-) )
