I agree it isn't, however, considering the current conditions some parts
of the country are experiencing, the continuing weather forecasts of
more to come and the fact that the ground water is so high that this
water won't be going anywhere soon, then perhaps we should apply some
tagging to areas that people have kindly already mapped. Maybe highways
should be marked as impassable? The Highways Agency etc are producing
such lists.
We would need to revisit these areas to remove it as they subside but
this information is invaluable to many people, agencies, charities, gov
departments etc.
There's also a historical benefit having areas mapped as having
previously flooded, either as live ways tagged accordingly or as old
deleted ways that nevertheless are still accessible.
If the HOT team had been activated for this then we would be doing this
sort of thing just as has been done in many other parts of the World.
I'm beginning to think we are not stepping up to provide this unique
mapping requirement that no other mapping service is providing.

Is this an appropriate use of the name tag?
