This person's opinion: I very much like capacity with amenity=bench, especially when it is "significantly greater than two or three," though I also see great merit in saying capacity=1 to emphasize "single-seat only" in some cases where that might be or is unusual, or even usual! Y'know, this

Yeah, this "lion spitting" non-potable water is what I might describe as a "decorative fountain fixture," not a "water tap" (no valve or flow control) and isn't drinkable (not a "drinking fountain," but it IS a "fountain") because the sign warns the water isn't safe to drink. With much of

Shawn has it right as I see it, too, so I think he says it for all of us. Let's all say "there are regionalisms" and leave it at that (for now). Tags can (and do) express those. It's complicated, not terribly too much. And we tighten it up across stores (convenience or otherwise) as nodes and
