Really super large fountains (like the one in front of the
Bellagiao(?) in LasVegas is giant, and mapping the nozzles is possible
- but a nozzle is not an amenity. But the fountain itself is a
fountain (and landmark), which places it in amenity.
Perhaps a fountain sub-key
Fountain=*
For the nozzles, lights, water fill, water return, shut-off/control
box, and filter set is a good idea (even if most of those are
unrendered), for fountain people to map the entire system.

Some (if not all) could be used by other things .. swimming pools, spars
Rather than isolate them to fountains .. perhaps man_made=light
waterway=return_outlet waterway=filter ?

I am a bit puzzled by the use of amenity here.
According to wiki it is "Covering an assortment of community
facilities..." that are of obvious use to locals and/or tourists
such as toilets, banks, schools.
I agree with regard to "nozzle" while for fountains amenity is OK and
is very established
I find the use of amenity for things like a bar or biergarten or
sauna to be outside this description.
but they are how the current scheme defines it, restaurants etc all
are in amenity
I also do not understand the use of amenity for a tourist or
ornamental feature such as a fountain?
a fountain is not a "tourist" feature in my eyes, they are much older
than tourism in general. they are part of the urban furniture and
serve for decoration, accentuation but sometimes also practical
purposes like providing drinking water, cooling, etc
Surely it is just a "place-of-interest" and would be under
tourism=fountain for those fountains that are of interest to the
visitor (and would therefore not be confused with a drinking
fountain which would be an amenity=drinking_water) and
man_made=fountain for others of less note (as I am unaware of a
general place_of_interest tag).
-1, I would not suggest to use different tags based on such a weak
criterion like "interest to the visitor"
I also hardly can find any particular relation of visitors and
fountains, besides that they look at them (just as they visit
churches, but we are not tagging tourism=church).
I'd keep amenity=fountain and render just a name (zoomlevel area size
dependent ) with no icon, and would use
man_made=nozzle or maybe
waterway=nozzle
for the single nozzle (not rendered in default style or rendered just
with a small dot)
