And full of frigging namespaces. If you're tagging a rock face with a grade, the climbing: is redundant. If, somehow, there was a 'shopping grade' for supermakets, you still wouldn't need the namespace, since the climbing grades would be on rocks, and the 'shopping grade' would be on the supermarket. Please, please don't let the stupid Piste namespacing infect your brain and make you wander round with a namespace-hammer looking for new tagging-nails. crag = granite (or whatever) sport=climbing british_trad = VS british_tech = 6b french = 6a Does the trick, nice and simple, no problems.
