I agree that the 5 different values shown on the wiki describe distinctly different things and should all be retained.

Low usage is likely just because there aren't that many of these in the real world and not many people have been mapping them. So in my option we should continue to support the existing tags and keep mapping with them. I've been mapping the areas I know using the current defined schema. "should be rendered" -> do you mean on the default OpenStreetMap style? Did you want to open a ticket on the stylesheet issue tracker https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93 <https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+lifeguard> &q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+lifeguard +1 for having presets in the iD editor too.

Bryan had quite correctly pointed out that there are lot of similar, but all pretty rarely used (<1000) tags for essentially the same thing, so has suggested replacing them all with a simple emergency=lifeguard. I can't see any major problem with doing that, but also keeping emergency=life_ring for those places (boardwalks, jetties etc) where an unaccompanied life ring is positioned. What does everybody think?
