I suspect most fixed cannon still in use have fixed firing times; see also
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_O%27Clock_Gun#One_O.27Clock_Gun and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noon_Gun

Perhaps a good way of indicating such continuing use would be to indicate
firing-time=* ?  More informative than simply indicating it is still in use.

BTW is there a tag for cannon that still go BANG now and then;
historic=cannon+bang=yes? I guess fixed artillery hasn't much room in
the defense of today, so it's still a historic thing.

 i could probably develop a fairly extensive taxonomy for cannons from

 you name it...

Disused=yes for non functional cannons and disused=no for functional ones
sounds good to me.

it's also not clear of the necessity. pieces in active military service 
are not likely to be mapped.
likewise, pieces in use by re-enactors are going to be moved around. i 
can think of a small
number of pieces that are more-or-less static and occasionally fired, 
but it's such a small number...
the cannons scattered around the NPS battlefield parks are nearly all 
disused, as are the
cannons on courthouse lawns all over the country. the only static piece 
in the US that jumps
out at me as being actively fired on occasion is the rear 3 mount on 
the USS Slater in Albany NY.

Follow up.

If tagging a small area that has, say, 8 cannons, but not wanting to map
them individually. What is the best tag to use to indicate number of
cannons there?

capacity=* doesn't seem right. Is there something like count=*?

On behalf of Wedens of COSMHA-STM and talk-ht,

We would like to know if it is appropriate to tag historic cannons in old
military forts as:
historic=cannon
