Ok, let's stay in the same page then. :) Regarding schools, I don't know what you mean, because here, schools dont have fountains, just taps and those of the bubbler type (maybe old century schools have fountains in their yards or something similar).

Which is the case in Britain for ornamental/decorative fountains. Regardless of whether or not they supply drinking water, they're fountains. But utilitarian drinking fountains, of the kind found in schools, are not "fountains" in normal British English usage.
This was assumed from my side since the beginning. What spurred me to start this thread was that the element "fountain" in Portuguese iD was translated as "decoration fountain" and the wiki seemed to support that distinction. So, as it is now, there are no decoration fountains, only fountains that need drinking_water=yes if they provide potable water, which seems a more encompassing and more close to reality solution.
What I was objecting to was the idea that in some countries amenity=fountain is assumed to supply drinking water by default. It needs an explicit drinking_water=yes. -- Paul
