That definition hasn't been true since use of surface=* was expanded beyond highways for things like golf bunkers, eg surface=sand because natural=beach wasn't suitable. Also the Map Features page lists natural=mud and surface=mud, but apart from mud flats (natural=wetland + wetland=mud), where would you actually use landcover=mud? _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
