Sorry my fault. I was trying to say that if I wanted to visit European castle_type=defensive I could but if they are referred to as a berg in Germany, a blah in France and as summat else in another country I will soon end up with a very messy and confusing list. Because if I don't know the local descriptive type name I will not be able to find it. Even though its a more of a internal tag its still a tag that could be used in the future by others to create a map of defensive castles.
