I haven't seen anyone (recently) who supports your original proposal
of keeping amenity=embassy and adding amenity=consulate. So I believe
your first summary is inaccurate.
Instead what I have seen is suggesting that amenity=diplomatic is
possibly a better fit than office=diplomatic.
So I would suggest dropping the first alternative entirely and
modifying the second to read:
* shift to amenity=diplomatic
+1
or office=diplomatic (which one to use has yet to be decided) and use
the existing diplomatic=* additional (secondary) tag to specify
whether embassy, consulate, or other, then use embassy, consulate, and
other (or some other euphemism as yet undetermined) as additional
(tertiary) tags to specify further the type of diplomatic or
non-diplomatic mission as needed.
The problem I have with office=* is that it is not meant to outline the
premisses (parking, entry road - right out to the external fence). Some
have been mapped to there extents, others are single nodes.
The advantage is that it is a simple 1:1 change that removes eh problem
value of 'embassy' and replaces it with 'diplomatic'.
A problem will be the lack of rendering for some time.
Cheers,
John

Dear Colleagues,
Eleven days into the RFC, we have three competing lines of thought
regarding even a primary tag for diplomatic missions, and
similarly little consensus on additional (secondary and tertiary)
tags that would preserve and expand information. The three lines
of thought are:
* retain amenity=* as the primary tag but tag consulates
separately from embassies (this is the original proposal, which
after being criticized resurfaced a few days ago).
* shift to office=diplomatic and use the existing diplomatic=*
additional (secondary) tag to specify whether embassy, consulate,
or other, then use embassy, consulate and other as additional
(tertiary) tags to specify further the type of diplomatic or
non-diplomatic mission as needed.
* "promote" diplomatic=* to primary tag status, with embassy,
consulate, and other (or some other euphemism as yet undetermined)
as the key values as well as additional (secondary) tags that are
used to specify further the type of diplomatic or non-diplomatic
mission as needed.
Nearly all the discussion is posted to the talk page of Proposed
Features/Consulate in the wiki
,https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Proposed_features/Consulate
for those interested in reviewing it.
Now, as we approach the two-week mark, it would be helpful to get
a sense of whether there is any consensus out there about which of
the three main lines of thought is preferred over the others. The
preferences of the community responding to this RFC are not clear
to me. Please let me know which direction you believe would be
best, bearing in mind both the realities of the OSM universe
(relative sophistication of mappers, the desire not to burden
unduly renderers of maps, and the degree to which anybody reads
the wiki articles) and our shared desire to make OSM as accurate
and information-rich as possible. Which of the above approaches
do you think is "best" by those criteria?
Very best regards to one and all who have contributed to this
discussion, and many thanks for your ideas and expressions of
concern.
