If there is to be one tag only for open-air baths it should be reflected in the name of the value somehow. In german there are words like ''freibad'' (open-air bath) and older words like ''badeanstalt'' (bath facility). The European Environment Agency have a "bathing water directive". http://ec.europa.eu/environment/water/water-bathing/index_en.html All member states have to profile and monitor all their outdoor "bathing waters" and adjacent "beaches".(swimming pools excluded from directive) Possible tags for open-air baths could be leisure=open-air_bath leisure=outdoor_bath leisure=bathing_water leisure=beach _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
