I let you know some mistakes I've seen: 1) In "Tipos de cultivo", the MI "Mimbreras o cañaverales", is tagged wetland=marsh, that is better tagged as natural=wetland + wetland=marsh ( http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:natural%3Dwetland ) 2) For regular expresions for ROTULO, at the end of the page, I think tags should be consistent with those we have in other parts of the file, like for example: Ermita (RER,SER) is tagged as amenity=place_of_worship, religion=christian, denomination=catholic, building=hermitage in the Religioso (R) section, but tagged as amenity=place_of_worship, religion=christian, denomination=roman_catholic, building=church in the table of "expresión regular" at the end of the page. I didn't correct any of these errors. > >> The import is proposing a new tag, use=agricultural. This is found on >> landuse=meadow areas.
