historic=1200 (for precise minds)
This use of the "historic" tag is new to me. Where is it defined?
You can use google to find OSM wiki defined keys/values..
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:historic
The suggested tag was "historic = yes".
The word "historic" is an adjective defined here
<http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/historic?s=t> and is in use
since about 1600.
We have already discussed that historic=castle which is "a historic"
with an attribute "castle" doesn't make sense.
"historic" is not a substantive describing an object and, moreover, a
castle is not always historic.
The logical and natural ways is:
building=castle
historic=yes/no
castle being the attribute (type) of building and historic the
attribute of castle.
That's something everybody can understand and even figure without
looking at the wiki.
1200 was a sensible extension.
Not that way... I'd think it would need
historic:date=1200AD ?
But perhaps it would be more universal to have
built_date=1200 AD
as it could be used for more modern structures that don't have an
historic association (yet)? !
Wiki search on date ..
