Hi,

I have made some changes and advanced

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/livestock_dip


to status proposed.


2 Problems I have with it ..


Type of dip


Rather than use livestock_dip <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Key:livestock_dip&action=edit&redlink=1>=immersion/sprinkler <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:livestock_dip%3Dimmersion/sprinkler&action=edit&redlink=1>, it might be best to use dip <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Key:dip&action=edit&redlink=1>=immersion/spray <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:dip%3Dimmersion/spray&action=edit&redlink=1>? This stays away from the animal, concentrating on the 'dip' and identifies the process rather than the equipment.


Conflicting access tags


access <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:access>=private <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:access%3Dprivate> with horse <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:horse>=yes <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:horse%3Dyes&action=edit&redlink=1> says, for OSM, it is private access but public for horses ... for us humans it is private for the use of horses.

A way around that is to not use horse=yes but something like animal/livestock=horse.

I prefer animal, as that can be used for pets, zoos etc, livestock is restrictive.


Livestock is used some 3,000 times .. no documentation that I could see, but it looks consistant.

Animal is used some 10,000 time .. poorly documented and used not only to specify the animal but facilities like school, wellness, swimming .. a very confused key!

I think the key animal needs a good clean!
