Opening_hours provides for free form text.
I expressed my point unclearly. It appears from the examples that the
condition is free-form text. However, when the condition specifies
opening hours then those hours should be expressed in the standard
form for opening_hours. That opening_hours allows free-form text is
a digression. Unless you were seriously suggesting that we
abuse opening_hours as a way of introducing free-form text into
a condition even though it appears (to me, at least) that conditions
permit free-form text anyway.
? Abuse opening_hours by 'introducing' free form text? It is allowed, so
not an introduction nor an abuse.
I was not aware that condition allowed free form text. Both tags are
poorly documented for this on the wiki.
Do you concur that a conditional such as "(low water)" is permissible? If
so, do you agree that it is a better solution than "seasonal" or
"intermittent"?
Yes, I think so, but the documentation for free form text is not clear.
Is open_hours better? I don't know.
Using "seasonal" is unhelpful because low water is possible (if unlikely)
during all seasons. Using "intermittent" is somewhat better.
But both "seasonal" and "intermittent" are (currently) only defined as
applying to water(ish) features themselves, not to things that are under
those features. Changes would have to be made to routers to allow
either seasonal or intermittent to be interpreted correctly when applied
to ways. Routers already (I hope) interpret conditionals.
Some roads are closed in winter but this could be applied as either
seasonal or conditional depending on the mapper.
I think I have tagged some but cannot recall which way I did it.
Would be usefull to do a tag info search for the more popular one and
then document it on the wiki.
