these concepts are neither mutually exclusive nor complementary they overlap neither one can be used instead of the other what about the isolated dwelling of the lighthouse keeper? what about the farm that is not isolated? I don't find isolated_dwelling useful at all in my view of my country I accept that others find it useful in their view of their country. We may not be "organised by country" but we can't all fit into each others country view. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
