If we do come up with an agreed tagging system, I'd be happy to add
tags for all the establishments in my town that I know offer this

Maybe you have already seen them, but here is a link to the recently
approved tags. Do you have any thoughts?

That seems reasonable. My only real concern is that tagging as part of a
network could cause the network to think that we are re-creating their
proprietary database. I'd prefer to stick with a simple
drinking_water:refill=yes
And I could do that purely by observation; I don't have the Refill app
or any other insight into their database, so there's no danger of
adding non-free data to OSM. I'm sure that there are plenty of other
people up and down the country who would be in a similar position.
Another way to avoid any worry of users submitting non-free data is to
make storefront photos part of the project.
Possibly, although that makes it less likely that we'll get a critical
mass of contributions. I could tag several establishments in my town
from memory. Having to go back and photograph them would be an
additional barrier.
