Since there was no response so far, may I propose to deprecate using
historic=manor and suggest on the wiki page to use only historic=castle
+ castle_type=manor instead. The reasons:
1. I can't see the difference in what both schemes try to symbolize.
2. There's a section on historic=manor wiki that says:
"There may sometimes be problems distinguishing between manors, castles,
stately homes. The manor tag is intended only for representative
buildings that are in the same time the administrative center of a large
agricultural estate. Buildings lacking this economic feature should not
be tagged."
Being a subtype of castle shows that distinction is softer than when
using a separate tag.
3. It's easier for data consumers (including rendering) to have more
general categories with subcategories.
4. It would be similar to historic=palace situation (historic=castle +
castle_type=palace is documented and used more than this).
