    I note that"if the medium of a pipeline you are tagging is not
    listed here, please choose a meaningful value at your own
    discretion."However that will lead to multiple values all meaning
    the same thing or be too restrictive.


From this and many other comments from you, I have to tell you, that - in my opinion - you have not understood OpenStreetMap.

    Should this be a 'RFC' as in a request for comment?
    According to taginfo the values in decreasing use are water (30%),
    gas, heat, sewrage, oil, hot water (20%), electricity (should be
    'cable' according to the wiki), sewage (3%), oxygen, coal, lng, fuel.


Choose one, use it, document it.

    I note This tag has a status "unspecified' .. that probaly means
    it has not been voted on here.


See what I mean?


No offence intended.


No offence taken I can assure you!!! :)

I do understand OSM is a conglomerate .. all pulling in different directions. I think that is a good thing .. but the end result needs to be coordinated so the output can be used. I'm trying to point out that what one person or group thinks is not necessarily what is 'best' what ever that may mean. And I'm pulling my way .. feel free to pull another. In fact do so. Only that way will OSM get 'better'.

I casting about for the value to use for non-potable water .. for eventual use in the tap tag. I'll get on to the 'substance' tag author and see what they think .. together with something on the voltage of the cable when used with pipeline, oh and hot water.

--------------------
Be warned .. I'll need a new tag for the handle on the tap .. some of them around here are 'tamper proof .. meaning you need a 'special tool' (a portable handle/key to fit) that prevents public use.
