Revisiting the site in fair weather, I found a tiny crack under a ledge that *might* have kept a child dry. It was very satisfying to delete that node. This seems to be a clear case of incorrect tagging of something that\ has not actually existed. natural=rock_shelter and any other tagging of rock shelter would be equally incorrect
Assuming that I located the correct crack, it was undoubtedly a case of overzealous tagging. The problem I see is that the definition of rock shelter is subjective enough that this sort of tagging will happen from time to time. Some mappers will stretch the definition because they just love adding features. And since rock shelters are currently a subtag of amenity=shelter, people looking for amenity=shelter -- with the possibly live-saving properties that implies -- will be misled. Tagging a rock shelter any other way -- natural=rock_shelter, amenity=rock_shelter, whatever -- and we're no longer bound to fulfilling the existing expectations of the parent tag. Jason
