ouch, intended meaning was exactly opposite
What you wrote was clear, i was talking about Warin's proposal which
implies ("This should not be confused with intermittent") that you
should either tag intermittent=* or ephemeral=* but not both.
Intermittent is now being added to all seasonal tagged water things ...
By adding 'ephemeral' to intermittent means that intermittent has even
less to distinguish it.
Why not add the tag water=yes to all waterways and lakes etc?
About as usefull as the tag intermittent now as it means any waterway
that might not have water in it .. at any time.
Most waterways dry up in droughts .. so even those waterways regarded as
perennial can now be tagged intermittent.
So I now regard the intermittent tag as having no usefull information -
it could mean anything. And I give up on having it made sensible in any way.

Is it agreed that the proposed tag 'ephemeral' should not be confused
with the tag 'seasonal'?
