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.
Thus, I believe that a world wide default should be avoided in favour
of local ones or enforcing explicit tagging.
tap=yes as default would not work in Italy and tap=no as default would
not work in Australia.

Technically it is a 'valve' that controls the water flow. The same kind
of 'valve' is found in a water tap and in a shower.
I know that the tag of 'fountain' does not sit well with taps, at least
not with me.
A new main tag of 'water_source=*' would remove the 'fountain'
requirement and could use values such as water_well, shower, tap etc.
Decorative fountains could be moved to the tourism key as
tourism=decorative_fountain.
This could conflict with tourism=art_work as some decorative fountains
contain statures and other art works..
Possibly the sub key of artwork_type=* could be used under the tag
tourism=decorative_fountain.
Ideally the two would be separate OSM entities as they are usually
separate real world feature, one inside the other.
