The idea is to get this rendered on the map.
My opt is for amenity=power_socket which is what people will be looking
for. It will be impossible to have a different symbol to indicate every
different type of outlet in the world.
Then the next thing they will need to know is the type of socket so
type=* (example ... plug_UK ; plug_EU ; USB123 ; USB_C)
And it can continue on from there.
Use the present existing 'standard' names!
e.g. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:power_supply
for USB
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB#Host_and_device_interface_receptacles
I'd think most of the USB public sockets would be USB_A - common on
plugpacks (wall warts/bricks etc).
But we don't tag for the map. And especially in this case I don't get
why it's so important.
If you have a flat battery in your phone/laptop and want to charge it ..
it is usefull to know where a public power socket is available.
Bicycle apps and maps are one of the most commons ones in
OpenStreetMap and even maps for charging stations are pretty popular.
The tag 'amenity' automatically indicates it is for public use and so
should not be used to tag every private domestic plug in a home.
Mh... no. It doesn't.

Private parking is tagged .. access=private/members ...
