As there are very few things on OSM that aren't 'amenities' I think the amenity tag is valueless....

amenity=mountain
Current tag natural=peak
amenity=river
Current tag waterway=river
amenity=building
Current tag building=
amenity=shop
Current tag shop=

So poor examples above ?

Do things categorised currently as an amenity need to be in such a categorisation ?

amenity=pub is really just pub(=yes) etc.

That is a better example .. to me a pub is a shop/building .. sells stuff and is a building. As are restaurants, petrol stations etc.

petrol stations, parking might be better associated with the highway= tag ... though that is very populated.

But a bench, shelter, shower, post box, telephone ? where do they go?
