(Possibly also include: Has no internal access, can only be climbed by ladder?) man_made=tower: a tall, slim, freestanding vertical structure with internal access man_made=communications_tower: to be deprecated (but also create a new tower:type=multipurpose for the massive 150m+ combined communication / observation / tourist attraction buildings) man-made=pole: (currently not defined) a usually vertical column used as a support for overhead utilities such as cables or antennae (Do we need a height reference eg a pole is <15m - if it's 15m+, it becomes a tower?) We should probably also look at the existing tag man_made=antenna (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:man_made%3Dantenna) which doesn't really have any useful definition: Used to mark some kind of antennas How does that sound to everyone?
