Actually, I was not referring to a new top level tag of waste=* but to
amenity=dump_point. I quoted from the previous post but that was very
misleading.
I wanted to avoid the proliferation of waste types that must be
associated with a new tag of waste=*
By more carefully defining only one tag, (dump_point, dump_station), a
tag that's already is use,
dump_point - does not exist on the OSM wiki - so undocumented.
dump_station - abandoned .. not in use in OSM?
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Dump_Station
I looked on taginfo for point ... 11 pages
found amongst others of less interest here
watsan:pee_*point*
<https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/watsan%3Apee_point> -
undocumented.. 22 instances possibly a pissoir?
only ONE dump_point in use.. in north west Tasmania .. hardly a well
used key?
No dump_stations.
we could simply stop there. If, OTH, we create a totally new tag of
amenity=waste we're faced with getting all the follow on tags
approved. Fir example, waste=sharps? I think I know what that is, but
do we really need this fine granularity? Do we really want to have a
long discussion about that tag?
It's no biggie to me either way but simple is always better IMO.
The dump_point/station may solve one issue ..what about the rest?
Putting band aids on all over the place does not appeal .. rather go for
a good solution for all the problems?
But if we don't ask why not a higher level tag then 'we'll' never know.
So.. ask? It would make things clearer and separate it out from the
past. 'Sharps' comes out of what has already been listed on the various
wiki pages .. I'm simply putting them here to cover the stuff already
mentioned in the past. As for facing 'us' the replacement .. well it is
an OSM problem .. not yours nor mine as individuals. 'We' can help.. but
it is upto the OSM community as a whole.
