Better to use the term fluid rather than liquid.
I would expect the following to have taps are part of their
construction - as a OSM default - shower, bottle filler, drinking
fountain. If there is no tap .. then tap=no .. or better
flow=continuous. Why is flow=continuous better .. it says what it is.
Why would tap=yes be a good default?
I have run an overpass query to find all tagged types of drinking
fountains
("fountain"~"^(bubbler|drinking|nasone|drinking_fountain|toret|roman_wolf|wallace)$").
The total number of tagged items is 1572, 964 of which are in Italy
(732 of which in Rome!!). In Italy this kind of fountains generally
does not have a tap.
Thus, the majority of fountains currently tagged in osm do not have a
tap; at this point it would be more sensible to have tap=no as a default.
In Australia it would be unusual to find a drinking fountain without a
tap to stop the flow when a person is not drinking. I think it could be
illegal such is the scarcity of water.
Certainly when water restriction are declared such uncontrolled drinking
fountains would be rendered useless, thus I don't think there are any
here without taps.
With the most restrictive water restrictions decorative fountains are
turned off, public water taps disabled but drinking fountains still usable.
