these are 2 completely different things, one is a feature and one is a property.
both can be used, but typical applications will be different.
Yes, I meant that there is no need for such feature since it overlaps
with other features and could very well be described as a property of
one of those features.
For example, man_made=water_tap cannot coexist with
man_made=drinking_fountain thus, in the wiki it currently advises to tag
a water fountain that has a tap as man_made=water_tap drinking_fountain=yes.
In this way, you'll have to tag anything that has a tap as a secondary
value of man_made=water_tap.
it actually is a watering_place :)
There is no way to discern a man made structure for the purpose from a
naturally occurring pond.
Can you give an example what you want to tag and cannot?
I think the example I gave is appropriate. natural=spring does not apply
since it is not a naturally occurring spring and water comes from a
centralized water system. I wouldn't like to tag it as amenity=lavoir
since I would rather use that to describe large places where more than
one person could wash their clothes at the same time.
whoelse would have a pipe with nonpotable water and without a tap?
I have seen these things in a lot of places and I think we should be
able to describe them.
You can also look at these fountains which are not used to clean clothes.

You can use these to clean yourself or at times attach a pipe to water
plants and stuff like that.
