There are now over 500 hot springs mapped with natural=hot_spring. The tag
was proposed way back in 2008 but the proposal was never approved. Wiki:

Yep, sounds like a good idea
Some people have suggested tagging hot springs with natural=spring and a
spring=hot subtag, but hot springs have a quite different geological origin
and cultural significance. The wiki page for natural=spring has a link to
hot spring:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:natural%3Dspring
Agree that hot spring & spring=hot are different
Geysers are also tagged natural=geyser. They could be considered a type of
spring, but they are also similar to a fumarole or volcanic vent, and I
would be quite surprised to see a geyser mapped as a “spring”
Wiki:

Notice that they also suggested using hot spring for mud. I would think
that bubbling mud puddles would be a different thing again?
Thoughts on these tags? If natural=hot_springbkeeps climbing in use, we
could start rendering it on the Openstreetmap-Carto style (“standard
layer”) soon, if there is agreement on the tagging.
Thanks
