Normally I'd agree with you 100%, but in this case it's a bit different because as pointed out earlier weirs tend to be non-moving for the most part (even if they can be temporarily removed) and the water freely flows over the top, sluice gates allow water to be diverted and generally don't have water flowing over the top of them and spillway gates of dams can be dry 99% of the time unless the dam is so full water needs to be released to prevent water from flowing over the top of them. Perhaps a more generic approach would work, eg waterway=flow_control flow_control=weir|sluice_gate|flood_gate|spillway_gate|.... _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
