As I recall my readings without reviewing them,

  * there is a strange situation with access=emergency because there is
    IMHO no GPS setting for emergency vehicles to follow. They would
    certainly not rely on them anyway if OSM people laugh at people who
    believe in OSM GPS and hence at themselves. And emergency vehicles
    are prone to disregard traffic rules anyway, who would blame for
    carefully doing that people who save lives and sometimes risk their
    lives for us,
  * there is a risk of confusion between emergency services in hospitals
    and emergency vehicles, especially with the roads that vehicles are
    allowed use or that lead to the services (and that non service
    vehicles are maybe not allowed to use, you see what I mean)
