I've been using boundary=national_park[0] for these, even if they're not strictly National Parks (e.g. state reserves, forest reserves, etc). > I would be less interested in tagging who manages it, and more interested in > tagging the legislation that appears to it.

Coming up with a consistent tagging is going to be all sorts of fun due to the differences between places. Tasmania for example has 7 different types of reserve[1] plus all the other parks and marine areas, and Victoria has 14 in total[2]. Maybe something like park=au.tas:game_reserve? > So far I've been tagging them fairly indiscriminately as leisure=park, but > giving them the full title in their name, on the basis that it will be fairly > easy to mass update them once we work out an appropriate tagging scheme.
