It even says that the definitions aren't official. 2) Your comment indicates that there is value in collecting together these definitions together in little knowledge bases to provoke discussion. 3) Yes, I think it's a dumb tag too. One of the legacies of its very English history. It would be much better off as a landuse=* tag describing it as publicly owned grass, with an amenity=* tag or something identifying it as the village green. But what can you do. Steve
