As discussed in my earlier post, I think voting is important even for specific

Not really - OSM doesn't have "official" tags. It has "commonly used"
ones, and people agree not to use the same tag to mean different things,
but a lack of interest in a "proposal" is a pretty good indicator that,
er, no one is actually interested.
If you think that something is important enough to be mapped, then map
it! If you think people are using different tags to express what is
essentially the same concept, discuss it with those people to see if it
is the same concept or if there are nuances that anyone is missing.
Please don't expect people who have no knowledge of the real-world
concept that you're trying to capture to be able to offer a useful opinion.
Re the comments in your parent message:
> Please, what is your vision of OSM? A or B?
It's neither. It's a big pile of data, which contains things that
everyone and no-one are interested, but which are _verifiable_. It's
easy to combine that data with other data, both on the fly in an
application or statically beforehand.
Re OsmAnd, if you want an OsmAnd map to contain your tag, then simply
make your own maps containing that tag:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OsmAnd#Create_your_own_maps
(from the contents section at the top of the first page of the OsmAnd wiki)
There are as many potential maps as mappers - please don't be
discouraged that a majority of the extremely broad range of OSM mappers
don't find some niche feature relevant, as that's true of almost all of
the "long tail" of tags that differentiates OSM from top-down-mandated
alternatives such as Google et al.
Cheers,
Andy
