This may well have been a reason why the proposal was stalled; someone had suggested to change it into "class=emergency" (which, as others remarked, would then rob you of the opportunity to explicitly tag the absence of such facilities). I think the name conflict is negligible. It is true that the "emergency" tag is also actively (not only a possibility!) used to tag access restrictions but one is strictly in conjunction with highways and the other with hospitals. I wanted to put the feature on Map Features based on established use. I cannot simply invent something that is not yet used and put it on Map Features - either document "emergency" now, or wait until people establish something else and then document that. I'm in favour of the first option. It could still be fixed later should the need arise.
