I would like to (politely :) disagree with your split. man_made=surveillance seems to be perfect IMHO. The word "surveillance" may feel big-brotherish, but it is literally what a webcam does. It seems to me you could come up with some nice tags to add to the surveillance scheme, such as webcam=public Best Dan _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
