And some fountains aren't about water at all (champagne, chocolate, ...) although these are really few in comparison, and typically not in the public space. To me the fact, that the fontana di Trevi in English is called Trevi fountain, is a strong indice that it isn't completely off to call features like this a fountain. Dictionaries also saw "drinking fountains" as kind of fountain, although I am happy we have 2 different main tags for them. Generally, I believe we are mostly wasting our time here, if we wanted to significantly change the tagging for so well established tags, the least I would expect is a proposal that explains the problems and has a solution that is better what we have, in all the dimensions. I am only contributing because these are my pet features :) Cheers, Martin
