It should be better off as a landcover=bare_rock instead, but that key is not really accepted. If used with the natural-key then it should at least be possible to use the same way as natural=wetland with subtags of wetland=.. natural=rockland :-) I started a new thread on that. Another concern is that the tag is only supposed to be used for solid rock, I am not sure how people are supposed to know that. And what to use for loose rock. /Johan Jönsson _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
