are you aware of the key tomb?

This is just a draft. It should be marked as abandoned, as you have not made
an RFC for 4 years.


no, you are misguided, the documentation might be at draft level, but the tag 
is well established (3178 times used in this moment).




The OSM 'status' is applied to the documentation of tags.

Tags have no 'status' value within OSM. The number of times a tag is used is 
not a good guide to the usefullness of the tag nor the world wide population of 
the feature.

My thoughts ...
There would be many many more tombs in the world than the mear 3,178 tags in 
OSM.
There are about graves 1,000,000 in one local cemeterynear me. And some of 
those would be tombs.
However unlike highways .. not all tombs nor graves may be worth mapping?
I think it is not 'well established' but at a simple 'experimental' level.

4 years... as a proposal looks like a long time. But there has been activity 
over the time .. last in October 2014... so still under 'development'.
I think that it is at a 'draft' status still ... but active ... just.
I note that the photo for tomb=war_grave shows graves not tomb/s.
