I think this is more versatile than yet another value as it allows an 
individual response in the local language.

I see "local language" as a big drawback in the following reasons:
- Data consumers might want to handle appointments differently. For example a POI browser that 
shows "now open" could use a different colour for "now open on appointment".
- Tourists using OsmAnd don't always understand the local language.
- In bi-lingual areas like the capital of Belgium, using local language would 
mean using both Dutch *and* French.


You may find the person answering only has local language. If bi-lingual then 
either language could be used, upto the mapper.



Do you have a more concrete example of what versatility you would be after? Something 
like Mo-Fr 09:00-18:00 "on appointment for non-members"?

Also note that the appointment keyword would allow additional comments. This works when 
specific instructions are needed like Mo-Fr 09:00-18:00 appointment "don't call, use 
the website".


A free text entry allows for anything. Could not be more versatile. If I came 
up with something requiring versatility and then you developed for it, then 
there would be yet another exception and so on.
There is always going to be some exception, free text entry provides for any 
exception.

This is -not- supported by the existing documentation

That on the other hand might be a useful distinction.

I would use the "phone" key rather than mixing phone numbers in the opening
hours value. If there are several phone numbers and one is dedicated for
making appointments, it could be a phone subtag like phone:appointments=###

The key 'opening_hours' has a free from text entry facility.

I have used this where a museum is open by appointment only thus

'opening_hours="By appointment, phone "' (the ### is the phone number that 
I don't recall of the top of my head.


I think this is more versatile than yet another value as it allows an 
individual response in the local language.

it may be the same for apps, it isn’t for mappers, “unknown” is an imperative 
for surveying it. It may also make a difference for some searching for such 
features, because unknown means you might be lucky and they’ll serve you, by 
appointment means you must not even try if they might be open.

I welcome documenting this value, as it is already used with varying syntax 
more than 500 times, so it is clear mappers want it:

Not a bad idea at all, Ruben.

In some ways I suppose you could say it is unknown, but in other's it's not
quite the same!

Yes, you would - it tells you that you can't just walk in the door & expect
to be seen, you have to ring them & make an appointment.

Isn't this semantically in the end not the same as "unknown" (as in any
application would have to equate this to  "you have to inquire if it is
open")?
