Often synonymous yes; always synonymous no. I find it useful to separately tag the place and use sport=xxx to mean "pertaining to the sport of xxx" with an eye to search engines. So with golf, a search engine can distinguish between golf courses, driving ranges and club houses and possibly speciality golf shops yet still easily bring up everything pertaining to golf within a given area. With the sport of recreational diving, it is useful to know both the local dive spots and dive shops where you can get air tanks, hire boats etc. The two things are very different and cannot be distinguished by sport=scuba_diving alone. Other examples: leisure=pitch sport=soccer versus leisure=stadium sport=soccer amenity=swimming_pool sport=swimming;water_polo versus natural=beach sport=swimming Mike Stockholm _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
