really? You are tagging single grass blades? This sounds detailed. Can you point us to a spot where you did this? Honestly, this answer is not satisfying because there would be sand also where there is grass. But this case is not the usecase of neither of the tagging versions we have been talking about above. We could make it such though: landcover could become natural_cover (for the plants that grow there) and surface would be the surface of the ground. Semantically I still don't think that surface is a good tag for landcover (and I wonder that John Smith does), but if you all agree to use it, I would be willing to subordinate. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
