Hi,
the key "model" ( https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key%3Amodel ) describes the model designation of a manufactured object. Formerly, it has been used for power=generator mainly, but now its usage has increased and is spread around over vrious objects which can have a model-designation / model-name. For example public telephones, elevators, street cabinets, substations and so on. ***It is used over 32000 times.*** So I think it's worth adding it. The kind of field should be free-text generally, but I chose the field type "combo" so that people can orientate on which values are already in use. For this, there's also the case-sensivity important.
