That should be possible - it would come up with both tags -
amenity=diplomatic with diplomatic=embassy, or amenity=diplomatic with
diplomatic=consulate
If you type 'tennis' what does ID come up with? sport=tennis with a
selection of leisure=pitch, or something=sports_centre ..

As a new mapper, I would not have though to type “diplomatic” when
searching for a tag for an embassy or consulate. It’s nice if mappers
can just type “embassy” or “consulate” into the ID editor and have it
pop up.
So I like amenity=consulate

The proposed addition of amenity=consulate then conflicts with the
present definition of amenity=embassy - both would be available to
tag a consulate!!!

At present all embassies and consulates can be and at least some
are tagged as amenity=embassy!
There is no distinction with the present OSM wiki definition of
amenity=embassy.

Certainly. Faster again to type nothing. Mappers who want to add
detail will do so.
> 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 :)
That would require typing of more than one tag.
Do you want fast?
Then you will need one tag that says all you want ... one tag for
a consulate that does vias, another tag for a consulate that does
not do visas .. etc etc..
Reality: more than one tag would be required to have a system that
is not litered with one tags that do so much detail.
-------------------
I would opt for;
depreciating amenity=embassy .. as they are used for embassies,
consulates etc .. so you don't know what they are (unless it has a
detailed sub tag)
introducing amenity=diplomatic and use the sub tag diplomatic=* to
detail what it is - embassy/consulate/*
