Good idea! I had to check up on the word "planter" http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/planter Seems absolute spot on as a large flower-pot used as decoration or as a barrier. Since we do not have a key for this kind of less noticeable decorations (as I know of) lets use barrier. barrier=planter Just start using it, but to keep the gods of bureaucracy mellow I think a proposal page could be in place too. There were a large runner-up of new barriers for a year ago at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/New_barrier_types Maybe we can start a proposal on "even more barrier_types". Alternative: A planter, especially the ones built in bricks from the ground is quite similar to a flower bed in a park/garden. Maybe one could think of something like man_made=flower_bed/planter _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
