[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - (consulate)

2018-10-23 Thread Allan Mustard
One of the commenters has suggested an additional tag indicating what services a consulate or embassy provides, and that is one option.  Not all consulates or consular sections of embassies offer all visa types, for example.  The existent service=* tag could possibly be used.  For example, one
