Same thing then applies to headland & isthmus? The natural=cape wiki makes
reference to See Also natural-isthmus (but the page doesn't exist!) & lists
natural=headland (also doesn't exist) as a Possible Tagging Mistake. Why?

When I've looked at a few headlands I know, a couple of them are listed as
place=locality, name=Indian Head, which, to me, doesn't really ring true?

I would think all of these should come under natural=xxxxx, & should be
mapped as they are named: =headland, =cape, =peninsula, =promontory etc etc

Thanks
