So my revised suggestion to tag a webcam public on internet is
man_made=surveillance
surveillance= indoor|outdoor|public *
surveillance:type=camera *
surveillance:zone=weather|traffic|scenic *
contact:webcam=<url>
name=*
operator=*
description=*
camera:direction= compass degrees *
camera:angle = horizontal angle of view *
* means optional
This sound completely crazy to me.
Why not:
man_made:surveillance:url:contact=http://... ;
image_only_it's_a_camera_please_do_not_phone_the_device
A newbie looking for a way to map a webcam will just not map it.
A scheme with camera=webcam/surveillance/... url=* should be
sufficient, like Nounours proposed.
Having a new proposal with a camera=... key is a big task, but
"man_made=surveillance" seems insanely pompous to me.

I did not initially want "man_made=surveillance", but I was met with
strong opinions against splitting from "man_made=surveillance". And, yes
it can be argued that there is a lot of overlap between surveillance
webcameras and tourist webcams. I too think that it would be more
logical that the primary key for camera was "camera", and that the
purpose (surveilance|weather) was a secondary key. But given 21 735
"man_made=surveillance" it is too late now.
I am not at all interested in spending months of my life arguing about
an elaborate schemes for cameras. I will just Get It Done.
I think the key here is to use contact:webcam=<url> . That alone is
enough to get make an overlay map of webcams. And it makes sense to
reuse much of man_made=surveillance tags for more detailed annotations.
