Well, think it might get tricky. I know places where you will find several springs right next to each other. Some are hot, some are warm and some are cold. All have different contents not depending on the temperature. If you it is save to take a bath or even drink the water does not really depend on the temperature either. Even in hot places/areas it might get cold at night and I remember it was fun bathing in ~45°C hot water in Africa at midnight though the air temperature was below 15°C. Another point is the use of sports=swimming which is way to general defined so far and should not be used for every places where you can go swimming but for places with some infrastructure. Well, please think about adding water=* and removing sports=swimming from the part about lakes/ponds. All together, I am not really sure if it is smart to split springs by temperature. cu fly _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
