There has been a long tradition of this mailing list (and, before it branched off, the talk mailing list) making recommendations on tagging schemes, so I see no reason to suddenly question this. In this case the recommended tag is the more popular tag, but there have also been instances were a fewer used tag was recommended. -- Matthijs _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
