Seems like a good idea, but following what Nick said... You may not *need* to do anything, but if no one knows, then it is a bit of a pointless exercise (except for specialist tags that are only of interest to the originator). If no one knows, they'll never get shown on a map and no one else will know to follow the same convention. Just as Ulf could go his own way with waterway=slipway, there's not much point unless those managing the rendering and other tools both know to take note and actually do. Incidentally, a cave open to the public might also be classified as tourism=attraction in some circumstances (e.g. Speedwell Cavern and similar in Derbyshire) David _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk-gb
