Hi folks,
I feel a bit disappointed with the power=portal tag, pretty widely used
in Germany for instance.
It seems to document start points of a power line in power substations.
Have a look :

There are only 18 of them in France, I thought it would be better to
don't use it. I don't even know if it's the right English term.
Nevertheless the idea of considering portals instead of standard towers
in substations sounds good.
How do you feel about this ?
I am not an expert on this, but I have never heard this described as a
'portal'.
In English a portal is some sort of opening or entrance or hole, so it
doesn't make much sense for part of a power line or a tower.
I'm not sure what the correct name for this is. I would suggest
something like "termination tower" or maybe "terminator".
