Hi,
thank you for the comments!

on a technical view, semicolons are seperators and you can jump from one to the next, get orders and catch/interpret the strings between. But I don´t like that too if it ends up in long text.


> there is the third option ... * whc:ref=N ...
I like this too and I use it.

but in this case, it might be accepted?
I would suggest to use it like this
    * WHC:operator=World Heritage Convention (WHC)
    * WHC:website=http://whc.unesco.org/en/list
    * WHC:ref=N
    * WHC:criteria=2;4
    * WHC:inscription_date=1983
in the operator-key value you have to give the full string (advertise) and with this "abbr" on the begin, you see in a tag-list what belongs together. Together with the "abbr", its possible to use more "ref" for one object.


Thats a _relation-concept_: "ref"-layers upon one basic OSM-area decoration e.g. out of leisure=*, landuse=*, ... These ref-abbr-scheme is IMHO usable for lots of (external) stuff, from CORINE up to plant communities. But you should have a view on the accurate abbr.

yes, its a marginal cases: the aera is constrained usable too - its for your healthfulness ...

therfor is the "resources-protected-areas"-section - the economic view of environment-objects
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dprotected_area#resources-protected-area
her you protect areas to save a location, to find gold, getting food, water, ...

and if you think about protect species with their habitats
protect_class=7 "nature-feature area: similar to 4. but without IUCN-level."
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dprotected_area#nature-protected-area
Thats more the local, small-areaed protect efforts by _communities_: saving an aerie of an eagle or the orchids etc.



> ... low emission zones.
its too, like military, a runing key. For the sake of completeness. Actually they belong to p_a too. I still don´t know, if these LEZ-concepts are the same way complex than the tarif-zones of the public transport.
