I agree. I am fine with the proposed tagging by Alan.

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
