I guess from your perspective it is but please try to define the meaning of waterway=leat for non-native English speakers from a completely different part of the world in a way that clearly tells them when to use this tag and when to use a different one. For native English speakers this is often much more difficult - you try to synchronize your use of waterway=canal/ditch/drain with your understanding of these terms in your language - and inevitably fail with that attempt. I just use these tags as defined on the wiki or as they are used by other mappers and don't concern myself with the inherent meaning of the value outside OSM. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
