I don't see the relevant difference, then, between an onsite compost toilet and a pit, to the toilet experience.They are both an open drop where you can see the waste. I think it's better to use composting= for designating if its composting and how. Especially since it can or cannot apply to multiple types. And many people have an interest in composting objects.
I would replace composting with chemical in the toilet:vault options. Or maybe "portable" is a better option. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_toilet toilets:vault <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:toilets:type>=[flush, pit <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:pitlatrine>,bucket,portable] I like portable better than chemical. I think there is a big difference between the other types of toilets and a portable one. And this distinction is a very important one when mapping sanitation objects for humanitarian use. So it is better it gets designated and documented in a proper way. +1 on rendering not being able to pick up more than 2 or 3 types, or needing to. In disclosure, I am influenced by the complexity of sanitation objects I have had to map with HOT and other orgs, but it is useful and needed info.
