This is where SteveB likes to suggest we are actually tagging for renderers, at least to some extent, otherwise why bother having the Map Features page and tagging presets other wise? > I don't know if there is places on earth you would tag like this. > Probably not.

There is one near me and that's pretty much what I did, tagged it as a natural=wetland since it had more than just mud as the primary feature. > mud will probably mostly be surface=ground on highways. or dirt or .... or at least for the most part I'd hope the road wasn't muddy :) _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
