"Inquiry" is expressed as "you must inquire to receive a key or code for the toilet". This is a combination of concerns, and it should be expressed more atomically. As described in the proposal, "inquiry" is partly about practical locking mechanisms so a better way which factors out those concerns is access=private locked={yes|<mechanism>} [1] (or some other tag) This is better because access=private already carries the "you must inquire" meaning. As the Key:access page states, access=private means "only with permission of the owner on an individual basis". And how does one acquire permission? One inquires. For your example, one needn't inquire as to whether one may use the toilets if one is a customer. Merely after a code, for example. So a better way would be to use access=customers locked=code [1] (or some other tag) I object to muddling the access=* key with yet more values having the same meaning as existing ones, especially without discussion on the access tagging page. access=* describes legal access, and should have nothing to do with practical access (except for barriers, sigh). In short: if you need to ask before each use, then it's an existing restrictive access value, either "customers", or more probably "private".
