"There is bound to be grey areas" only if we continue to use these
tags as currently defined in the wiki.

The problem is that we must choose amenity=A OR B OR C, where A, B,
and C are not mutually exclusive. This is the cause of the problem. We
either need to:

1) allow for the specification of more than one type simultaneously,
e.g. amenity=A;B, amenity=B;C, etc., or
2) change/specify in more detail the definitions of A, B and C so that
they *are*  mutually exclusive, or
3) be forced to tag things incorrectly

Which option shall it be? I vote 2, which includes the option of just
using amenity=D (where D=A OR B OR C)
