I stand corrected. If you look at the size distribution of features with those tags you will see that the distinction between place=islet and place=island does not have any practical meaning in the data. In other words: If you want natural=cape and natural=peninsula to be synonyms for natural=cape_or_peninsula and don't mind flushing >11k existing natural=cape features with a well defined meaning which are not peninsulas down the drain such a limit could help accomplishing that. > place=hamlet, typically less than 100-200 inhabitants. > > place=village, typically 1,000-10,000 inhabitants. Where is the numerical limit in there? -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
