Did you know it's possible to indicate “anti-homeless” benches on #OpenStreetMap?

There's an annoying (and in some places, growing) trend of adding seat separators to benches, to prevent (often homeless) people from lying on them. An OSM key exists to tag this: seats:separated=*! It's a simple binary key (yes/no) but nevertheless adds useful information IMO.

The key is undocumented on the wiki but in use: according to Taginfo, there's 2281 uses worldwide (interestingly, they're all seats:separated=no!) and 803 in Belgium (where I live). That also means I uploaded the first ever bench tagged with seats:separated=yes today (it's in Tielt train station, BE).
