As a child there was one which was known as the "place where Elizabeth I was sitting when she was told she was Queen". There was one in Western Queensland known as the "birthplace of the Labour Party". They are very special places which need noting. Then there are single trees which make landmarks on a route. All other trees are normal (to my way of thinking about the world) and don't need any additional notes. They may even be standalone trees which are more than x metres from anything else. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
