Hmm. Yes, we also have natural=water whether it's "natural" or not....But this doesn't necessarily mean it's the best solution. surface=sand is also not the best solution, because surface=* is specifically for "surface of roads/footpaths". The only alternative I see is landuse=beach, which I think would be ok, if there were a clear distinction between this and natural=beach. For a "beach" created by dumping a bunch of sand in the middle of a city, to me, that's pretty clearly landuse=beach. But in Australia sand, is frequently dumped on beaches bordering the sea, to "top up" the sand for the tourists. At what point would that change from natural=beach to landuse=beach? _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
