Doesn't context make it obvious in most cases? You're not going to have class-1 clean room shoe decontamination in the middle of a hiking trail. And if it's mapped and tagged as decontamination it doesn't really matter why it's there, it's there because you're meant to use it whether you understand why or not. Bigger problem: "I'm not wearing hiking boots so I don't need to decontaminate." There could also be sub tags for the decontamination, say pathogens, seeds, > dirt etc. Depending on how detailed you want to be. > Optional, but not required. I don't see any immediate need for them, but no doubt a situation will arise where it's necessary (it';s a big world and we've not mapped all of it in detail - yet). I'd certainly not use a tag that could in any way be used for shoe > polishing ... not on. If you want to tag that use some other tag. > Belt and braces. Make it obvious what the tag is for. And provide the other tag for those who would have abused it had you not made it obvious. Then document it in the wiki (shirt grip inside the waist band). -- Paul
