Seems a high number to me, but even if it was true: this means that
80% of all trees are not tagged according to what you consider the
valid definition. I think at this point we should adjust the tag
description to what is actually tagged and not what has been written
there for years and nobody (well, 80%) cared for it or took it
literally. Or what would be the alternative that you suggest?
That is not true. There already is an extension tag,
denotation=avenue or
denotation=urban and some people have used it when mass-mapping
generic
trees.
The solution seems pretty simple to me. Add something like
"denotation=landmark", and then you always know when you have your
significant landmark tree. If you also want to add denotation=urban
on other trees, that's good also.
If you find a tree without any denotation, then you know you found a
tree without denotation. If you want specific status, one way or the
other, tag it with denotation. Don't trust the absence of a key to
tell you something important.
