place=locality is currently used as a generic tag for anything with a name for which no established more precise tag exists.
This kind of contradicts the idea of OSM which would normally suggest to invent a new tag then for the type of feature you have. Subtagging the generic tag to make it less generic would kind of take this to a whole new level. You could take this even further and suggest tagging everything in OSM something like 'feature=thing' and then differentiating only through 'thing=*'. Long story short - to better differentiate what is currently tagged place=locality the way to go is IMO to create more specific top level tags (or use existing ones like the mentioned "disused:/abandonded:"). -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
