Not any, that I can think of (but I don't know the entire UK in great detail). That just means that we cannot look to Ordnance Survey for clues as to what tagging might be useful for arid areas. It can still provide clues for what we might find useful when mapping terrain that is wet, cold, and full of sheep. :) There is no point re-inventing the wheel, but we shouldn't assume that other people's wheels are perfect. -- Paul
