Shifting both, embassies and consulates under a diplomatic main key would require retagging of both, embassies and consulates, but the embassies are already tagged ok. Also from a practical point of view, it is faster to type one tag than two. If a map renderer doesn’t want to distinguish between the two, it can use the bare amenity=diplomatic as long as people are using it together with diplomatic=passport_check or something like this (think tourism=information), and will have to look for diplomatic=embassy as well, so they could in the first place change their rule to “amenity is embassy or consulate”, and be future proof :) Cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
