This is pretty much based on gut feelings and may be partially or
completely wrong...
I don't think "amenity" is a suitable tag for a consulate. Amenities
are parks, or toilets, or similar.
"Should we go to the park or the consulate for a picnic today?" "I'm
busting for a crap, where's the
nearest consulate?" And I'm damned sure an embassy isn't an amenity
(I'm not even sure, in these
days of telecommunications, if it serves any purpose other than
housing spies, but if heads of state
do still use embassies for formal communication between governments
they're definitely not
amenities).
Embassies and consulates seem a slightly better fit in
office=government, but still a square peg with
the corners filed down a little trying to fit into a round hole.
An alternative ... just use the diplomatic key alone.
If necessary diplomatic=yes could be used where the precise nature of
the facility is unknown .. much like building=yes.
I'm not happy with service:*=* acting as distinctions as service is
used elsewhere for other things.
It complicates editors as they have to do selective matching to figure
out which particular
service:* tags to offer up with a particular main tag.
Humm the 'sells' tag has the same problem.
Free form entry is a reasonable way around this .. at least until some
use has been made of it to see what is 'frequent' in use.
