Or use leisure=outdoor_seating. Not a solution if you're mapping musical benches that are indoors, but otherwise it does what is required. It doesn't offer a bench count but does say you can use capacity. And it renders. My only gripe with this tag is the icon. The same icon is used whether the area has weather protection (such as a canopy) or not: the icon shows a bench with a roof over it. Most outdoor seating areas I've encountered around here are not covered (I believe the situation is the reverse in some countries) and I find the icon to be very misleading. Tourism is a big part of the local economy here, and a tourist planning a trip on a rainy day could end up being unhappy to find the outdoor seating isn't actually covered. I raised this with carto who dismissed the idea of using a different icon where weather_protection=no. -- Paul
