One wants to have as much clarity as possible before using a tag. > Take a look at heritage: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/heritage, the draft started on 2009-10-20, RFC on 2010-10-05. No formal voting. It's used 44.000 times, and there is a map showing items mapped with this tag ( http://geschichtskarten.openstreetmap.de/historische_objekte/ ). There are presets for JOSM that supports this tag as well. I think almost none of the historic values passed through a formal voting process, but because there is a vivid community around it, there is website, there are tools and discussions between mappers that actually use or want to use the tags the tags evolve and get used. IMHO this approach can work, also for all campsite related tags. regards m
