Not that I agree with the tags or the way that OP went about the change (I've already reverted the majority of his changes in my area), but the fact that your applications break when someone changes a tag is a sign that something larger is wrong with the system than a simple amenity/emergency tag change. The OSM ecosystem has always strongly favored ease of mapping (as opposed to ease of data consumption), but now that more data consumers are attempting to use our data maybe it's time to start thinking about how we can firm things up a little bit to give the data consumers something solid to work with.
