The need for a replacement of amenity=embassy was explained in the approved
office=diplomatic proposal.
By doing a mechanical edit the work load of mappers is reduced, I would think
50%, and the adoption of the new tag promoted by its evident use.
I missed that office=diplomatic was required with diplomatic=* edits I did some
time ago. I think others have done the same.
The use of diplomatic=* has outstripped office=diplomatic even ignoring the
starting offset due to previous use before the accepted proposal.
The tagging of diplomatic=* at the moment has little motivation as it is not
rendered by many.
Most use the one rendering symbol for all of them.
Determining 'embassy' could be done to some extent by location, in a countries
capitol city, and by the name containing 'embassy'.
Determining 'consulate' could be done in a similar manner - outside the capitol
city and containing 'consulate'.
There will be exceptions! For these reasons I am not advocating it.
I am reluctant to suggest the mechanical addition of office=diplomatic to
diplomatic=* due to the past use of the tag and the more numerous
amenity=embassy which was the original motivation for the accepted proposal.

I've spent several hours creating wiki pages for the new, approved
tags from this proposal, so I'm in favor of the tags, even
office=diplomatic (which doesn't seem much of an improvement, compared
to the others).
But I'm not convinced that adding the office=diplomatic tag to
existing features is very helpful. It would be more useful to add
diplomatic=embassy/consulate/liaison and the additional subtags to
show the precise type of embassy or consulate or other diplomatic
facility, but this probably requires local survey or at least
extensive searching of web pages for every feature.

Hi,

Following the successful proposal of introducing office=diplomatic to
eventually replace the amenity=embassy (which is used to not only tag
embassies but other diplomatic service) I am proposing to add the
approved tag office=diplomatic to all instances that have both the tag
amenity=embassy with the tag country=*.
I don't think that this is necessary or helpful. When office=diplomatic
was "approved", we did not discuss a mass addition to existing features.
This is something that time can solve, we don't need an automatic edit
for it.
