Do not use the word bath/bathe as it has confusing double meanings. Maybe bath could be used for some speciality markings later on. The use of the key "sport:" could mean trouble if it isn´t a place where the sport should be exercised for competition or closely connected to that. I will start a new thread with another suggestion. /Johan Jönsson _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
