There are several mapped in the Brazilian city of Curitiba. The reason I'm
aware of these was that a friend was the Polish consul during the early 1990s.

It really just happened. species, genus and taxon as tags came into existence
at similar times. It may well be that my use of taxon was inspired by your own
initiative on Flickr.
Currently the position is very simple:
- species and genus are preferred tags for taxon:species and taxon:genus
It seems to me that the obvious generalisation, which would cover camps
organised for profit and by non-profits would be leisure=vacation_camp. This
simply generalises summer, and avoids the very specific British connotations

I am not talking about travellers, itinerant workers etc. That is a different

This is pretty much the type of situation which the taxon tag is meant to cope

Hi Richard,
Not just test tracks. Your post instantly brought to mind the training track at
the Police school outside Merida. I'm sure other Police training establishments
must also have tracks designed for training of advanced driving skills.

There are problems with this approach.
Many trees are pollarded once in their lifetimes: I'm currently looking out at
some Beech trees which were probably pollarded 70 years ago, and there's a
Birch which was pollarded rather crudely 50 years ago in the neighbours garden.

I've many such things: the material is called brash (sometimes brush) in the

Brash is also used to deliberately fill gaps to discourage

Hi,
There are two examples of byob=yes, one of bring_your_own_wine=yes, and one
alcohol=bring_your_own_bottle.
No doubt there are other tags of which I'm not aware. I would have thought that
London must have a goodly number of BYOB establishments, and surely more than 4.

This seems a good place to use the hazard key. There are a limited number of

There's no reason why post-processing cannot append information about critical
