Hi,

So, my description is too specific ? What if I just drop the following sentence ? It is not really meaningful, anyway. "In some countries, like France, a midwife is a profession on its own, not a specialized nurse like e.g. in the U.S.".

Also, about rendering : here in France, midwives in hospitals/clinics usually wear a pink suit. So, I guess the doctor symbol could be used if changed from red to pink. What do you think ?

Cheers,
David.

David, I am very sorry to only comment after you have gone to the vote,
very rude of me !

But I have been away, quite remote and very poor internet access, big
backlog of unread mail.

David, my partner is a midwife but of the "specialist nurse" variety.
What concerns us is how this tag will be used in parts of the world that
have a different midwife model. Here in Australia, midwives generally
work from, typically, hospitals or clinics and offer a reduced range of
services.

I think some advice needs to be given in the proposal on how to use it
in places that don't fit your description. Either

* "don't use it" or

* "use it but map users need be aware that services may not be as
described."

I suspect the first is a better option.

David
