+1, basically these are similar features and there are no clear distinctive 
criteria to decide edge cases. The difference is size / importance: memorials 
are smaller. The walk into criterion is often useful but should not be seen too 
strict. E.g. this obelisk, weighting 455 tons and with 32 m height, IMHO is a 
monument and not just a memorial https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateran_Obelisk
but it is completely massive and therefore not accessible in the inside. 
Similarly this monument is not just a memorial: 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Rushmore

(FWIW, in osm this is currently a leisure=park ;-)

Also this seems to be a monument:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/2222295
but currently it is tagged as memorial. If this current tagging was agreed on 
as preferred way of tagging we will have a hard time finding (bigger?) 
memorials that will be tagged as monuments....


cheers
