A parent in a wheelchair might find that useful information, although it would only influence a decision if there were similar facilities nearby. same thing for the description key, I can't imagine when it's useful to > describe the table with words so I find it not very useful to promote it > Description is a standard tag applicable (at least in theory) to all objects and used where there is something that distinguishes the object from others in its class or where it differs significantly from what might otherwise be expected. It's rare that I use description=* for any object, but occasionally it is useful.

Especially if a down-market tabloid newspaper recently fuelled fear of paedophiles to boost its circulation. even access=permissive seems strange to me for this kind of equipment, > I don't know of any law instituting a right to the changing table, so > all those who are access=yes are access=permissive because their > owner has the right to change their mind without asking someone else > Not sure about this one. There are all sorts of fine distinctions. A cafe might have a changing table for use by customers, or may permit non-customers to use it if they ask. changing_table:location=dedicated_room > if the purpose is to change the key diaper=room to diaper=yes + > diaper:location=dedicated_room I think this value is an too precise > assumption. the few changing tables I met in a room separate from the > toilets were not in a dedicated room. it was often in the room with > the sinks, the entrance hall of the different toilets or in a > multi-purpose room. > If you never encountered a changing table in a dedicated room then don't map it as such. I have no problem with future-proofing a proposal. Because eventually somebody will encounter a changing table in a dedicated room and wonder how to map it. Let's decide on a sensible way of doing it now rather than regretting we had not done so after somebody invents an ad-hoc way of tagging it. since this proposal is to replace an existing key, it is useful > to make a short list of current usage and their new key/value > Good point. > > don't be afraid of the suggestion list, they are only suggestions to > discuss in order to try to make the proposal as useful as possible. > Don't say that! You/ll make us seem warm and cuddly. I've worked hard over many decades to appear curmudgeonly. -- Paul
