Very good point, +1. I'm moving towards garden=residential on its own as the suggested way of flagging private residential gardens. Backwards compatibility and pretty rendering is maintained if we let the tag stand on its own. Semantically it's interesting: garden=residential defines some quality of garden-ness without declaring that it's for leisure use, or indeed for any other purpose. If you want to say more about an object you can add more tags, which makes it combinable with the existing schema. Does the object be used for leisure by the general map user? Then add leisure=garden. Otherwise don't. It seems extensible too, and it might ultimately provide a way forward for the defunct http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Garden_specification#. At the very least we can steal the type values for use with this garden=* "refinement" key :) -- Andrew Chadwick _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
