Not sure if "tomb" is a word suitable for an ordinary grave, I have originally introduced this tag for more significant structures like tumuli in etruscan necropoles or rock-cut tombs or columbariums or mausoleums or pyramids. "tomb=tombstone" might also be strange tagging because a "tombstone" is not a subtype of a tomb, or is it? Someone has added this to the tomb page but without further notice on the mailing lists. If tomb is a suitable term, I think the value should be something like "ordinary_grave" or "grave" and not "tombstone" which is really a part of a tomb/grave and not a type of tomb itself. cheers, Martin
