+1, yes, place=suburb is not a "suburb". I also tried to write this in the starting thread. > That said, I don't yet see the need for quarter.

They can overlap and maybe also be contained one within another, but if there is some entity which contains several neighbourhoods it could get another tag even if this part would in some language/context be called "neighbourhood" as well. It's not really about the words, it could be level1, level2 and level3 as well. Upper Manhattan is not on the same level as is Harlem, is it? cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
