Of course. "If it quacks like a duck..." I've made elsewhere the case that the Adirondack and Catskill Parks in New York deserve 'boundary=national_park' even though they are state entities, using the same "it quacks like a duck" argument. https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/ke9tv/diary/390233 I suspect strongly that the state parks that behave like 'national_park' are the exception rather than the rule, but 'nature protected area' protect_classes are entirely reasonable if that's the park's function. I just don't very much like seeing baseball diamonds, swimming beaches, or band shells inside leisure=nature_reserve. (Nobody does, which is why the problem of 'what OTHER tagging can we use for these things' has triggered so much controversy.) _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
