Notes
Is there a difference between a "water point", "water tank", and "water tap"? If so, should we tag these differently? Right now the only consistent difference seems to be in name.
-- A water tank is a reservoir, usually a large above ground container; and a water tap is a spigot connected to a line. Water point, could be either.
A few nodes with watsan:other=yes mention being start/end points of terraces. Not sure what to do with these, if anything.
