Yes, you are right that actual usage of the key doesn't back up this suggestion. I was referring to this page http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Animal which lists values like "swimming", "wellness", "cemetery", "crematorium" etc. for the animal key. Maybe we should decide which way to go here (e.g. IF we wanted to discourage tagging animal types with this we could propose animal:species or for_animal:species or simply species for this use case). cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
