We already have that question on http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Proposed_features/tree_shrine: My answer was: "I would say for the same reason why historic=wayside_cross is not a combination of historic=wayside_shrine and landmark=cross (or man_made=cross) since they can look very similar as well [...] I decided to go with a new attribute, because in my country a wayside shrine is something masoned (~98% of the time), while a tree shrine is an image hanging on or build into a tree"

If you don't mind please come over to http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Proposed_features/tree_shrine and tell me what you think (It's easier for me to do everything with the wiki account)



Why not use the existing historical=shrine? Seems like the only distinction is that one is on a tree and may only last a few years.

In the photo example you provide, a picture nailed to a tree, seems rather temporary.

Could you provide more of a reason why we need another tag for shrine? Explain how tree shrines differ from other shrines and why they should be separated out.

Cheers,
Clifford
