I don’t mind encouraging or not a description, as long as it is in the wiki 
alone it won’t change anything, you can add description tags to anything where 
you feel it is appropriate and generally we should use it mainly for exceptions 
where structured tagging doesn’t seem appropriate.
As I understand it this wouldn’t often be a description of the table object but 
more likely a description of the context or circumstances, e.g. if you’d have 
to ask the staff, or get the table in one place and use it in the next room, 
etc.

What about changing tables as a feature property? For example in Germany there 
are chain shops (drugstores) which offer changing tables as a free service to 
their clients (including napkins). You might not want to position it in the 
shop (the shop might be mapped as a node) but just give the information that 
they offer the service. changing_table=* would seem to be the right tag for 
this property, what about the table as a feature/osm object?
The proposal lacks a definition at the moment, a sentence what the tag should 
mean.

I would prefer “baby_changing_table” as it makes it clearer what it is about 
(think about it, you also gave the proposal this title, and not just changing 
table).

Ciao, Martin
