That is a very bad idea on two accounts: * it would to my knowledge be a first in the whole OSM tagging system that defines a tag through an arbitrary numerical limit. And a pointless limit i would like to add because any data user who wants to filter for peninsulas larger than one square kilometer could do so just as well (or with as much difficulty) as the mapper. * it would dilute the meaning of natural=cape from its current very narrow meaning to one of "what natural=cape currently means plus small peninsulas" which would not only be counterproductive for data quality, it would also be completely counter-intuitive for the mapper (tagging a cape and a 0.9 km^2 peninsula the same but tagging a 0.9 km^2 peninsula and a 1.1 km^2 peninsula differently) -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
