However, I can foresee that unless there is amenity=waiting_room (or whatever we settle upon) then people WILL abuse amenity=lounge (or whatever we settle upon) for waiting rooms. Most of them won't deliberately intend to abuse the tag, they'll just be going for the closest fit to what they're trying to map. They probably won't look at the wiki page telling them it's not for that purpose, it will be what the editor pops up in response to what they're asking for. A good rule of thumb: if the mailing list has as many conflicting interpretations/opinions over a tag as this one has, it's likely to end up being used incorrectly in practise. And then, a few years down the line, we'll be looking for tagging to replace it. -- Paul
