because in golfing you don’t refer to grass by referring explicitly to 
different heights, you use specific types of vegetation and “treatment” and 
obstacles/features, like fairway, green, rough, bunker. It makes no sense (to 
me) to describe the features of a golf course in an abstract way if it is 
immediate and self explanatory to use duck tagging and precise terms. IMHO 
applying the terms of the domain you want to describe makes it both, easier for 
data consumers to understand what is intended, and for mappers to know which 
tags to apply (as long as the mappers are familiar with the domain).

cheers,
Martin
