I set up a proposal for a new key landcover. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/landcover
It deprecates very few old values (mud and sand from natural, grass from landuse). It is a value to describe physical characteristics of areas. It cannot be used on linear features (like surface). It is an additional tag that is orthogonal to landuse and natural. Natural is beeing redefined as pure geographical feature. E.g. an object could be natural=glacier, landcover=ice. Or natural=beach, landcover=sand or natural=desert, landcover=rock ... Please comment here or on the comment page. Please do not modify the proposal page for other stuff then grammar/typos. I will try to integrate your comments in the proposal. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
