    definitions. Or maybe decide it's not useful in that situation at all.

    If the definition is "a designated or customary place where a trip on
    a trail begins or ends," I'm entirely on board.

I'm perfectly fine with this. Now an open question is still where to place this tag and how to combine it. The stalled hw=trailhead proposal specifically suggests to place a trailhead node alone or on a piece of highway: "A trailhead should be mapped as a node or a node that is part of a trail segment (i.e.,highway <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway>=path <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dpath>) and should be tagged primarily as highway <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway>=trailhead <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:highway%3Dtrailhead&action=edit&redlink=1>." At least I would rephrase that to something along "... or a node that is part of the trail segment or a highway leading to its trail(s)."

More problematic is the question of combination. I'm pretty much opposed to giving this object two top level keys: highway=trailhead and tourism=information. I think the thought of theĀ  old proposal was to mark the point on a trail where to access it, hence hw=. Peter was more going in the direction of marking the point where we find information on how to access the trail (name, information board, sign, stele, ...), hence tourism=information + information=.

I would still try to separate the elements. We leave it with hw=trailhead + possibly a name + possibly including it in the route relation for the actual access point. Additionally, we map the amenities: information board, parking, toilets, picknick site etc. I'd welcome introducing something like tourism=information + information=trailhead or tourism=information + information=board + board_type=trailhead. Since a trailhead could be marked by other objects than a board the former might be more universal.

For the dutch case that would mean removing the hw=trailhead from all the points and changing the tourism=... to something new we agree on.
