I partly agree, but surface is not limited to man made. There is also the surface of a water body (lake, ...) for instance. Surface is about the surface. I agree with your statement in your other post: surface is not suited for soil, geology or anything else that is above or below the surface. Surface is 2-dimensional, a very thin layer. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
