The use of tourism=camp_site to represent a campgound or camping area will
continue to confuse and confound this proposal. If the term camp_site
should could be redefined to mean a spot (or pitch) where one can erect a
tent or park an RV many of those problems will vanish. If you should become
bold enough to try to redefine that tag, I'll support you totally.

Cheers,
Dave
