A summary so far. There seem to be a need for a tag for areas of solid rock, bedrock, with visible rock surface. bare_rock could be used. It is then obvious that there also is a need for areas covered by loose rocks. The naming of the popular natural=scree suggest a particulate definition of a slope with rubble of different sizes. More distinct tags needed or a general tag. There have been a vivid discussion, one idea is to use natural=* for special named features, like scree, but use a land_cover=* for general tagging of the nature of an area. /Johan Jönsson _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
