Answering with something as short as "in Germany / London / Małopolska" would be helpful. And yes, mistaggings happen. Typically my next step would be to try to find what would be considered as mistagging and create notes and wait for how people will handle them. And/or ask other mappers from this region whatever this distinction actually exists. > FWIW, if we always redefine our tag definitions to the smallest common > meaning of the "general population of mappers", then discover that we have > tags that now mean the "exact same thing", we will wipe out all the details. > I am sure that attempting to store detail in top level tag is a big mistake. People tried to do this with landuse=forest vs natural=wood, with different people using them having a differing opinoin what is the difference and what exactly separates it. Detailed info really should go into additional tags.
