That's creating nits where they don't even exist! Owner is a more complicated concept (and for this discussion would include a person leasing a single-family house). I think the key issue with "legitimate reason" is that it's tied to thinking about rights of access. With an entirely private place, only owners have a right of access (ignoring utility easements), and everyone else is there by permission. > In addition, the example for destination - "customer parking lots" - > has the same problems as a gated community.

My impression is that access=destination is a slightly damaged version of access=yes. The road is a public way, but use for other than going within the complex/etc. is specially prohibited. It seems those lots are tagged access=customers. That's an expanded version of access=private, to note that customers of nearby stores have permission. These two uses are fundamentally different (public- vs private+). access=private/permissive/destination/yes is currently more or less based on concepts in English law. I think what you're trying to do (and I understand why and think it's reasonable) is to have a way to define the set of people > How would you distinguish an entry for visitors from an entry for > residents only? That's reasonable, but these are subtypes of access=private. perhaps private=residents private=guests I think it's helpful to articulate what the data consumers are going to do, and what decisions they need to make, which leads to working on the grand ontology (which is what I was doing above).
