Indeed, we tag private things *all the time*: private buildings, railway structures, transmission towers, etc. If it's visible it should be mappable, right? However "amenity=toilet" often goes beyond what's visible. The building might be visible, but the ammenty is restricted. Thus a toilet in a private office building? I would not mark it as an amenity. A toilet in an outbuilding of a private home? I might tag the visible outline of the structure, but would not tag amenity=toilet. - What does it look like? ( a building ) - What's inside the building? ( a shop ) - What's inside the shop? ( a toilet ) - Who has access to it? ( people who ask for a key ) - What services does it provide? ( flushing, toilet paper, urinal ) - What does it look like? ( a hole the the ground ) - Who has access to it? ( anyone who happens past ) - What services does it provide? ( a pit ) - What does it look like? ( a building ) - Who has access to it? ( private ) - What services does it provide? ( not relevant )
