[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - natural=bare_rock

2011-01-26 Thread Johan Jönsson
This is an old proposal, that have been discussed before. It lead to a rewriting
and instead of natural=rock it is proposed natural=bare_rock.

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/bare_rock

It is supposed to be a tag for land cover.

 If it is a tag for landcover, why do you propose it in natural ?
 
 Natural is IMHO about geographic features like bay, spring, coastline,
 cliff, volcano, beach, peak and not about landcover like sand, rock,
 mud, ...
 OK, actually it is not yet strictly like this, but if we start
 assigning new values in this scheme it could move in this direction.
 You said yourself: It is supposed to be a tag for land cover.
 
 cheers,

The landcover-scheme is interesting, haven´t heard about that. 
It would be nice to have a sytematic definition of physical geography
characteristics to fill the white areas between the roads with. 
If you don´t mind I will edit the landcover-proposal and change landcover=rock
to landcover=bare_rock.

So regardless of the key natural/landcover, I propose the use of the tag
bare_rock.

Fine for me, go ahead, bare_rock (or rock) is indeed missing.

Large rock outcroppings often serve as local landmarks, just as do cliffs and 
beaches.

Why keep pushing this instead of just using surface=* which is widely
used and accepted already?
