Typically, not always. I've seen memorial plaques that are about 30 degrees to the horizontal. 2. Are there any alternatives to 'memorial' which again, seems too > specific/restrictive, tourism=information, information=plaque maybe? For the example you give, calling it a memorial seems wrong. It isn't commemorating anything. memorial=plaque is often used with historic=memorial. The wiki for that says "A feature for tagging smaller memorials usually remembering special persons, peoples lost their lives in the wars, past events or missing places." I'd say that tourism=information + information=plaque is better. You could maybe go with tourism=information + information=board + board_type=geography but few people would expect to see a horizontal board. Since information says user-defined values are OK then information=plaque. If somebody can come up with a word for plaques set in the ground, then go with that. -- Paul
