Okay, so this natural=bare_rock RFC should be used where there is one very large stone/rock surface in the ground, even when jagged, and not for loose rocks.

Sorry for diverting the thread if this is getting too off topic, feel free to reply using a different subject-- I saw scree on the wiki, your explanation helps. The kind of rocks I'm thinking about are on the coastline, not on a slope, and are not really at the base of a cliff. They are mostly stable rocks, but usually enough to walk on if you are careful, but can move. What tag should I use for this? I think it is different to scree.
