It feels the same for parking capacity (and you assume that each slot or room are equivalent).

I do add the "bench=yes" tag, however, to the shelter itself, as that's > useful for people searching for shelters-with-benches. > Agreed because often, bench and shelters are the same piece of furniture. seat=yes would be better imho. Moving enclosed equipment on the perimeter should be done in term of process or function and not in term of devices (i.e don't use the same tag on the equipment and on the enclosing feature). Other examples could be "A pump station vs individual pumps" or "A factory vs individual machines"... In general, I try to think of a typical end-user case.
