Graeme, please mark the page as proposal. I am not at all happy with "berm". It is unfortunately a term used for a number of different things all related to earthworks. What is missing in OSM are clean-cut mapping possibilities for (slopped) earth walls and for (one-sided) slopes. Berm is neither of the two. In addition the main and original meaning of berm is a step in the slope of an earth wall. See the first diagram in the German Wikipedia page for Berme. <https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berme> This photo <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Levee_of_the_River_Po.jpg> shows one of the objects that I would like to map properly: A river levee with two berms.
