This is problematic, since if you only tag amenity=fountain it will fall
back to a decorative fountain since amenity=fountain appears to be
defined in that way.
I'll repeat the problems with the current tagging scheme that I already
listed elsewhere.
If I have a fountain that is not decorative, doesn't have a tap and
doesn't provide drinking water, this fountain cannot be tagged.
Because no main key applies to it.
- Not a decorative fountain, thus not an amenity=fountain
- Doesn't provide drinking water, thus not an amenity=drinking_water
- Does not have a tap, thus not a man_made=water_tap
How would you tag this fountain I photographed the other day?
The water is not potable, the stream of water cannot be interrupted and
definitely is not a decorative fountain.

Using amenity=fountain, fountain=utility will allow tagging this fountain.
As I said, the alternative would be to introduce another main tag under
which to tag these features, but that was harshly criticized.
