Thanks for the great suggestions. I'm typing on an iPhone so will
respond fully after I reach my final destination.
amenity=charging_station with subtags for clarification seems to
fill the bill.
I think that's a choice with high long term costs to rendering and
processing engines.
What will happen is that you're asking rendering and processing
software to keep up with a blizzard of subtags.
"charging_station" presently is understood to mean a vehicle charging
station,
not a generic charging station. Suddenly icons designed for vehicle
charging will start appearing inside airports.
Similarly:
power_supply=cee_17_red
power_supply=cee_7_4
power_supply=usb
forces rendering to understand a long series of values. For an AC
wall plug that means understanding
that nema_5_15sev_1011 and cei_23_16 are all types of AC wall plugs,
but that USB is something different.
It's asking too much from the maintainers of rendering software.

bbq has the same problem.. electric, wood, gas ...
as does building .. school, retail, residential, church, post office ...
The rendering 'problem' ?
/To render or not .. that is the question? (to misquote Bill). /
The data can be added .. rendering is another problem.
First the tagging, then the mapping .. then the rendering. They all
have their problems.
