This is a way to solve most of the problem, but it fails the "map it as I
see it" test.
man_made=antenna + antenna:reflector=dish does map the satellite
communications antenna I just spotted... But what the naïve mapper I am
really wants is man_made=antenna + antenna=dish (or
monopole/dipole/yagi/helical/phased_array ...) : "map it as I see it" !
Then one can add antenna:propagation, antenna:application,
antenna:propagation, antenna:polarisation etc. but they are accessory.
Am I mistaken in believing that the main tags chain should focus on
offering a straightforward way to map the apparent physical features,
rather than invisible distinctions ? Not that invisible distinctions are
not welcome too - but they should stay out of the way.
Sympathies!
An alternative is available ...
man_made=antenna
dish=yes
cross_gain_feed=yes
two_way=yes
satellite=yes
----------------------
This does open it up for adding 2 things that are mutually exclusive eg
yagi=yes
monopole=yes
but in other respects is easier to use.
