[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - natural=bare_rock

2011-01-26 Thread Johan nsson
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.

It is supposed to be a tag for land cover.

[Tagging] outdoor nature bath

2011-01-09 Thread Johan nsson
I have been thinking on how to tag an places where one can go to take a bath.
In the summer there are designated areas at the sea, lakes and rivers to bath
at. Some organized and some simply a natural good spot for a bath. 
In the winter there are indoor or heated pools of different kind. And old-school
bathing houses, hamams and such.
Some just simply add sport=swimming to an appropriate physical tag: 
camping_site, beach, lake, river, park, pier outdoors and building,
sports_centre indoors.

How about one tag for all of these places: 

leisure=bath 

With a bathing person as a symbol:

That is a head and shoulders rising above the waves, not a swimmer.

  My thoughts have been on a physical tag like leisure=bathing_area,
  leisure=public_bath or just simply leisure=bath. The later one would
 be a tag
  for all kind of bathing facilities, both outdoor and indoor. Maybe the
 noun
  bath isn´t a good one, it might imply some kind of building or
 pool.
 
 How about leisure=swimming? IMHO the word bathe is rarely used these
 days, and is confused as noted above. Yes, there will be a confusion
 between leisure=swimming and sport=swimming, but at least it will be
 an obvious one that we can easily document and explain.

leisure=swimming
I suppose that swimming in this use also is synonymous with taking a swim,
taking a dip. 
In most uses of the tag it could also mean bathing (that is bathe, the wading,
floating and splashing experience), it could be a place also for those that
can´t swim too. 
But not directly taking a bath (with soap and shampoo), although there might
be showers and soap-and-water-baths around too, that might have its own 
amenity-tag.
