how would you map a peak that is not covered by vegetation? IMHO natural is not a landcover-tag but it is a geographical tag. natural=peak, surface=bare_rock. > Regarding the third concept of geological landmarks.

IMHO cliff (vertical stone wall) and scree (field of loose pebbles and rocks in the mountains) are not the same category as "bare_rock". > In the same way as the old abutters tag is the description of the terrain > useful > to orient yourself: there are trees over there, there are bare_rock over here. and there are power lines over there, and there is a rain deer farm over there, and there is a golf course over there, and there is the ocean over there, and the moon is above. I can't follow this "over there"-logics. Everything can be used for orientation, but that doesn't imply that all these features belong to the same category. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
