Is it actually desirable to distinguish a "lake" from a "pond"? If
so, what is the difference? Is it just that a body of water is named
"XYZ Pond" versus "XYZ Lake"? If so, isn't water=pond versus
water=lake derived from and redundant with name?
Is there a conceivable scenario where a data consumer or renderer
would care about the distinction between these two tags?
When I go walking in the mountains, I like do follow tracks that are
close to ponds (in this case, small (~10m) body of water where animals
can go to drink) and I can find many of them in a few kilometres. Lakes
are very different from that :-)
