"winery" is a better term than "vineyard" because, in some contexts at
least, the two have distinct meanings.
"cellar door" is a bad term because it will be taken literally by many
people and lead to confusion.

Although I just made up the term, "station" can be used in the sense
of one step in a sequence (eg, "stations of the cross", "station in
life")

I don't see how "rely on the wiki" is a solution to the problem. The
problem is not any of th

I think singular: "barrier=horse_stile". There's definitely very
little google support for "horse hops".
All in favour of barrier=horse_stile?

As has been pointed out before, the power=station / power=sub_station
situation is basically a disaster. I think the thing being described
here is the same as a "power=sub_station", but really I don't know the
best way to proceed to fix this mess. Perhaps deprecate
"power=sub_station" completely.

Fwiw, I tag them all "park". Is there any legal difference? It occurs
to me that many gardens have fences and gates and are only open during
certain hours, but I don't know if that's a general property.
Note that most of the parks in central Melbourne are called "garden"

By "permanent" you presumably mean "stable". Nodes and ways have IDs,
so it doesn't seem like a difficult pr

No, that would be the amenity=place_of_worship tag. religion= s

When tagging an area leisure=marina, do you include:
- just the area on water
- the water and the immediate area around it (ie, slipways, mooring points etc)
- facilities like boat storage
How do you define the edge of the marina if it's just a series of jetties?
Two examples:
