Hi,

Since the last discussions about that topic this summer, the choice has
been made to introduce man_made=tower and man_made=pole as an equivalent to
power=tower or power=pole in the power transmission refinement proposal.
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Power_transmission_refinement#Usefullness_of_each_tower.2Fpole

Despite a pretty small consensus about that, it's the most consistent way
to let mappers use power=* to describe hosted features.

Nevertheless, using man_made=tower requires to add an extra tag to give the
usefulness of the tower.
tower:type=* is usually used to give this information.

Some power poles may be used to roll out telecoms lines. Let's use
tower:type=power;communication

There is a conflict in power context because tower:type is also used to
give the tower structure

One of these tags should be renamed.
Which one should be targeted ?


Cheers.
