Betreff: Re: [Tagging] Leaf type of "palm" for leaf_type
There are 533 413 elements with the “leaf_type” key. Only 83 of them
have the value “palm”. This are 0.0156 % and certainly not “widely
used” at all!
I suppose you want to make a mechanical edit to change the existing 13
056 elements with type=palm. But you would change the description of
leaf_type=*. You would destroy the clean description of a clean and
well-defined key. An important reasons for the introduction of
leaf_type=* was that the previous solutions were too complex, not well
coordinated, too detailed – and thought didn’t work well. leaf_type=*
is an effort to keep things simple and clear. It’s not good to break
this.
You should not change the description of leaf_type=*. You should use
leaf_type=broadleaved and – if you want – add some other tag to make a
more exact description.
