I don't agree with extending the definition. If you want to tag something that is different from what is described, invent another tag (place=archipelago for example). IMHO those would be better fitting in natural anyway (like bay, etc.). Place used to be for settlements (which is since "locality" probably not true anymore). cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
