[Tagging] Is the key leisure only a physical ta?

2011-01-10 Thread Johan Jönsson
From the wiki, I have drawn the conclusion that the key leisure is used to 
tag
physical objects.

Can it be used for non-physical tags too? 

Is it possible to tag leisure=bathing; swimming; eating; drinking; 
or maybe leisure=movies; music?

eating and drinking are usually tagged more specifically, eg
restaurant or fast food etc...

 or maybe leisure=movies; music?

Again these can be tagged more specifically, although for movies I can
only think of movie theaters, as for music you can have concert halls
and opera places etc. A lot of big concerts will use sports stadiums
as well, but that isn't the primary use of that location.

Where as bathing and to a lesser extent swimming are venue specific activities.

IMHO, the fact that leisure=pitch is ok, but leisure=eating might 
not be says much more about the English language than it does about any 
fundamental categorisation of tags.


My understanding: there is no physical/non-physical distinction. Tags 
are assessed on a case-by-case basis.
