Looks like berm is a term used/misused for some different things.. may
be best to use something else?

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.

This photo

shows one of the objects that I would like to map properly: A river
levee with two berms.

Following the recent discussions of protective walls, I've
created a page for barrier=berm
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:barrier%3Dberm
As it is already in use 61 times, I didn't think we had to go
through the full RFC / voting procedure, but please correct me
if I'm wrong?
As always, comments & discussion welcomed! :-)
Thanks
Graeme
