scrap the proposal and use post office instead?

Well, when reading through the comments of the no voters (and the
comments here in the thread) I believe that it was only a small concern
that office would fit better than amenity. Actually, I myself find
amenity much better than office. The bigger concerns focused indeed
around how to reasonably differentiate and use a=post_office and
a/o=courier, especially in worlds where there is no clear
differentiation (any more).
I'm totally for introducing some new tagging allowing for describing
courier services. But I am at the same time against setting another
narrowly defined tag into stone where we need a broader approach. I
believe we need something that
a) is able to describe a "traditional" postal service as it is still
found in many countries by whatever that means there,
b) is able to describe outlets of private/new mail services,
c) is able to describe outlets of private/new parcel/courier services,
d) is able to describe any mixture or subset thereof,
e) is able to describe mail and courier related services offered by
other amenities on behalf of the mail/courier companies (shipping
parcels in a grocery store, mailing letters in a tobacco shop, ...).
I don't propose any ready solution for that. It could mean we stay with
just amenity=post_office and add appropriate sub tags (something like
post_office:mail=yes/no/shipping,
post_office_parcels=yes/no/shipping/receiving,
post_office:banking=yes/no, ....). Or something else.
Coming back to your original question: I don't see how mainly changing
the proposal from a=courier to o=courier addresses any of those raised
questions I just described.
