An example deep-content site for these types of holes is: http://www.iforgotthename.com/ In OSM is it best to create an area and tag sport=swimming/name=xxxx/access=/fee=no? http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:sport%3Dswimming My usual answer is you tag sport=swimming you won't be allowed another sport and you won't know in what you swim, hence the namespace schemas make it general and almost come naturally to the mind with their extensions whatever describes the location: river, lake, pond, followed by its attributes ... swimming=yes swimming:fee=no swimming:lifeguard=no phishing=yes phishing:fee=yes and you may have swimming:fee:children=2€ swimming:fee:adults= NB: one might decide that the the convention must be sport:swimming=yes what I say is that extending the schema is more natural Cheers, André.
