Sounds logical given the new tagging. I find no faults with the
office=diplomatic page, kudos to Lyx for putting it together, very
thorough. Embassies are (or should be) a 100% subset of
office=diplomatic. I think you are wise in not suggesting mass
addition of diplomatic=embassy, I also have come across instances in
the past where they are actually consulates.
The tag amenity=embassy was used for any diplomatic thing, some even
were commercial firms that assisted in obtaining visas.
The only thing I can think of is whether there are still any cases
where the location is actually an ambassadorial residence, (I am
uncomfortable with having them there, my wife is an ambassador) ...
but I think the most sensible thing is to deal with them on a
case-by-case after putting in place this more rigourous tagging schema.
Yes, amenity=embassy includes some ambassadorial residences, and there
is some provision for ambassadorial residences in the new scheme.
I am not certain .. but an ambassadorial residence will have
entertainment functions that can mean its location may need to be known
by some map users.
Oh I forgot to mention the how I'm thinking of doing this,
Using JOSM one city at a time to get the features that have both
amenity=embassy and country=*
Check the names for anything specious and cast those aside (I might do
some work on those but unrelated to the addition directly).
Then add the tag office=diplomatic.
This will not get all of them - some are outside cities, some don't have
the country tag.
But it will get most of them. The rest should be done by locals,
possibly maproulette?

Following the successful proposal of introducing office=diplomatic to
eventually replace the amenity=embassy (which is used to not only tag
embassies but other diplomatic service) I am proposing to add the
approved tag office=diplomatic to all instances that have both the
tag amenity=embassy with the tag country=*.
By only targeting features with both tag i hope to avoid those things
that have been incorrectly tagged amenity=embassy (I found 2 that
look to be brothels!).
Any thoughts?
