I get several translations for this, > ranging from natural to artificial bodies of water. I stick to wikipedia's definition: "a body of standing water, either natural or man-made, that is usually smaller than a lake". If it has "Pond" in the name — it is a pond. Probably it's what you call a fountain (?). > How do you suggest > would a large fountain (not sure if "fountain" applies to the kind of big flat > water areas you can typically find in front of castles which are positioned > there to reflect the castle?) be tagged? (wiki.osm.org) "...most fountains should be tagged as nodes amenity=fountain representing the location of the fountain sitting within an area of natural=water" (plus water=pond on the area, since fountains are usually found in [man-made] bodies of standing water).
