I'd suggest that if there is a mimics=* (or whatever key is settled on) it is unnecessary to state that it's concealed. It's implicit in the fact that it's mimicking something. Which would help rationalize tower:construction a little. Also, if I can see a fake pine tree, it's not concealed, is it? If it were concealed, I wouldn't be able to see it at all. Another reason to drop tower:construction=concealed. So while we're adding mimics=* (or whatever) let's deprecate tower:construction=concealed. -- Paul
