Sounds good to me. Polyglot

My rationale for doing this: > > 1. Supporting A) Residential gardens are of little interest for the > general map data consumer's leisure activities. Therefore they should > not be tagged using the leisure=* namespace for reasons of backwards > compatibility (see 3 below), consistent rendering (see 3 also), and > descriptive soundness (see 2 and 4). > > 2. Supporting B) They are however a form of land use, so the landuse=* > tag seems appropriate. Specifically, they're a kind of residential > landuse, so it makes sense to refine a use of landuse=residential. So > the combination in B) seems appropriate. > > 3. Supporting A and B) Use of leisure=garden means that renderers cannot > distinguish between private residential gardens and public or > fee-private leisure space gardens without deploying extra rules. It > would be more sensible and backwards compatible to do something else, > particularly since trac ticket 3302 doesn't show any signs of being > closed any time soon. Rendering residential gardens in the same colours > as surrounding residential landuse that -isn't- gardens both looks > prettier when the renderer doesn't do anything special to support > residential gardens, and makes for a more consistent-looking map (since > many users don't care two hoots about tagging residential gardens, but > their neighbours do). > > 4. Supporting B) The drill-down pattern used here adds an additional > layer of meaning to areas of residential landuse. What I've been calling > "iterative refinement" to date. > > 5. Supporting B, but full disclosure...) There are 756 uses of > residential=garden in the wiki at present, > http://taginfo.openstreetmap.de/tags/residential=garden , but I've added > possibly the majority of those myself by changing a great many local > objects using the erroneous tagging scheme to the scheme I want. There > may have been ~100 uses before, which is why I'm listing it near-last. > > 6. Supporting A and partly B) General sanity-check nod on #osm.
