At all times I have taken this subject
seriously. How I arrived at this category was through several periods in my
life.
This is really my intent, to help us just know where the stand alone toilets are.

This is actually important. More for women
than men. . . many do not like some public
toilets as they must sit down.
Your serious intent is obvious, though I seriously thought this was another gag category. Of course, that is part of the point - it has the gag factor.
You have gone to great lengths to say why you think it is important to have this category to help locate public toilets, yet that is one of the most
unconvincing arguments! Do you honestly think the the hit-or-miss widely scattered waymarks that this category might gather are going to make a difference to anybody? Who is going to download them and carry them around in his/her GPSr? And, what are the chances that the one you need would be waymarked anyway? I just don't see that waymarking serves this purpose very well at all. To have a comprehensive, useful list of anything is almost impossible due to the random nature of this hobby. Without that, the utility of such a category in achieving your goal is almost nil.
Rating? Well, conditions change, for one thing. Maybe one just hit it on a bad day - or a good day! And, granted you've traveled a lot, but have you been to Asia? There are still plenty of these public facilities where neither men nor women sit on anything! It's the Asian squat. Maybe other parts of the world have them too. Oh, we also have the high-tech ones - warmed seat covers, mechanical assistance for various things, motion-sensor flushers and electronic deodorizers. Bidets, not as common.
And, I still say, "So what?"
I've waymarked a fair number of restrooms that were unique for some other reason. And, I see that as the point of waymarking, NOT waymarking any public restroom no matter how ordinary, mundane, boring, and unremarkable it may be. Ocatagonal ones, historic ones, ones with murals, etc. but not the standard, "seen-one-youv'e-seen-them-all" types.
Oh, and "Restroom Facilities" is a variable in some categories, and a requirement for Roadside Rest Areas (so you might want to exclude those places - if the unfathomable happens and this passes).
