Upon further thought on this subject which doubtlessly keeps all of you
out of your sleep, here's a short analysis with my conclusion:
dog_toilet:
plus: it is very clear what it means, even for non-native speakers
min: * we would need cat_toilet, hamster_toilet etc over time.
* technically, a toilet is something to sit down on, made out of
porcelain with a flushing system etc. So technically, a dog "toilet"
isn't a toilet.
* That is a water closet you're talking about
A toilet can be a bucket or just two steps with a hole in the floor. Or
to be more correct: the toilet originally was a table with mirror where
a women could dress up. This evolved into a private dressing room for a
woman, where bathing as also often done, then toilets were installed in
those, then into the toilet room, after which the toilet (bowl) got the
name.
potty_area:
plus: easily expandable to show which animals are welcomed
min: it's eufemistic babytalk, not as descriptive, especially for
non-native speakers
pet_relief_area:
plus: easily expandable
min: "relief" is very eufemistic, and doesn't even show up in many
dictionaries as associated with defecation. Non-natives might easily
think this is something completely different
So I would like to propose a completely new value: amenity=pet_toilet.
+1
I happened to come across one this weekend (never saw one before),
wanted to add a photo to the proposal but the wiki refuses editing atm.
