The tag boundary=protected_area is even broader in meaning (e.g. including protection of cultural assets), but with a subtag becomes more specific. Using both tags is not "lying" but telling a story in details and getting understood and passed on only the most basic sense. >From the older scheme there is also the boundary=national_park tag in use with 18000 occurences: wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dnational_park Cheers, Martin
