Thanks for the comment! Right now I decided to go with the easy one, ie. the sauna experience. The heating, strict temperature etc. are more of per-location things, and go quite a bit deeper – of course we could expand the definition right away to those also. Number eight sounds like it would fit in this ”experience”, so we should probably add that one. Is there a western spelling for that? Not sure what to do with the ”brothel sauna”. I'd say we add that as a ”see also”, as there seems to be a used tagging for that already: https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/brothel%3Asaunaclub . I don't think it fits the sauna=* definition very well anyway :) Best regards, -- Jyri-Petteri Paloposki _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
