As a generalist, I would prefer to have one super-tag and many sub-tags to differentiate.
e.g. Leisure = bath bath:activity = wash/exercise/leisure bath:construction = indoor/outdoor/natural bath:water = sea/fresh/mineral/treated There are probably more sub-tags and we can come up with better names and groups. /Johan Jönsson p.s. (If this doesn´t fit the osm-scheme, then I can make separate proposals for all diffferent leisure and amenities, I will need some help with the outdoor ones. I do not like natural=beach to be used for all natural bath places) d.s. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
