But the surface tag applies to runaways, not aerodromes, does it?
If the surface tag is on the runway .. then it applies to the runway,
similarly for taxiway etc.
Personally my experience is that it much easier to map the runway, as
that is fairly well defined.
The area of the aerodrome is harder - the boundary maybe fenced making
it a little easier.
Most unpaved runways have no easy way to determine the extent of the
'aerodrome' so it does not usually get mapped.
I don't usually put a surface tag on an aerodrome, but I have tagged
surfaces on runways,
one of which was grass and has changed to paved in my term of mapping
history, the 'taxiways' remain grass .. and unmapped.

surface=grass
OR
surface=paved
Some airports are locally categorised as 'domestic',
'international' ...
I lack expertise in this area but the public are aware of these two
categories.

The surface tag is has been assumed by some mappers. Perhaps that
needs
to addresses on the wiki?
