The fact the scheme wasn’t completed in all those years since 2011 doesn’t make it more appealing. While being presented on a long page with lots of information (hence appearing to be exhaustive), if you actually want to classify an area it frequently happens that the definitions are not sufficient for describing the kind of protection and distinguishing it from other similar protected areas Cheers Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
