A interesting line-up one must say. Here is the latest (2001) definition of the different classes: http://www.epa.gov/mrlc/definitions.html#2001 They have shown a distinct movement from land use-like classes to more physical definitions. The old "Bare_Rock/Sand/Clay" have been replaced by the simpler "barren_land". !!This could be an alternative approach to the tag-name. Use "vegetated" or "barren" as tags. Maybe I was to specific when looking/and failing to find a tag for all land of bare rock (stony ground). The vegetated/barren couple could be better. Anyone got any objections on barren, do it have other meanings? /Johan Jönsson _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
