I understood that page right, the former is what it suggests). E.g.

It is not "rather than", but "as well as". The harbour object is tagged with a list of *available* facilities, the tag values being free text to qualify those availabilities. e.g. "harbour:toilets" could take the value "private, access by code". The actual location of these facilities are mapped separately, with appropriate tags, either from the "amenity" series or from the "seamark:small_craft_facility" series.

The reason for this arrangement is that querying a harbour object will bring up a list similar to those found in marina directories, nautical almanacs, etc.

Anyway, this thread is about the import, not the tagging! I know that we all love to argue about tags, but this is best done in the tagging list.
