imho a courtyard is related to leisure. why for: because a courtyard matters to people with leisure time and it is a luxury of sorts.
why against: perhaps a courtyard is a sequestered area/way as it is often tagger highway designated footpath as an area, an area that is a Very big way for foot traffic, and so not leisure at all, just a big highway with special rules. I would like to hear more from others. I think courtyards are important, and they are disappearing, so , if we map them, maybe they will lget more attention, and their numbers will increase. I have never tagged a courtyard as a POI, perhaps because I didn't know how. I hope this conversation can help lots of people.
