>From a technical perspective you may be right, but practically speaking, we should design tagging schemes with usability in mind. People are likely to know that "there is a flood gate", not that "there is a hinged crest gate". So something like: waterway=flood_gate flood_gate=sluice_gate ...is more usable for non-techie nerds than something like: waterway=flow_control flow_control=sluice_gate usage=flood_gate Steve _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
