Looking backwards in time, history began 1E-43 seconds ago. "Historic" is not a synonym for "old" but (loosely) for "recorded event." If you disagree with that, then how else can we tag a recent memorial? We don't have any other means of tagging it as a memorial (that I can find). But if you do find an alternative tag for it, or create one, at which point do we retag a POI from "not a historic memorial" to "historic memorial" since you would also have to define a cut-off. Is it 2 years, 20 years, 200 years? So I'm fine with using historic=memorial for a plaque that was put in place 20 years ago. Or yesterday. Or an hour ago. Or 1E-43 seconds ago. -- Paul
