well, elementary schools belong to a residential area as well as a (not to big) convenience store that serves mostly this area or a pub. At least to "general residential areas" according to German law (BauNVO, WA = allgemeines Wohngebiet = general residential area). On the other hand, they would just exceptionally be allowed in "pure residential areas" (reines Wohngebiet, WR). For the lake in the forest: do you agree that someone would say: the lake (pond) is in the forest? Like a way in the forest, which doesn't have trees growing on it, but still is in the forest. It is not excluded. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
