But those are along the lines of "this tag applies to this particular situation, there are similar situations where a different tag should be used." In the case of landcover=hedge it's more of "This is a bad tag. Use this instead." (I paraphrase, you'd phrase it more diplomatically) and should be in its own section right at the very start. With a warning icon. Because once you know that, there is no point reading the rest of it. -- Paul
