Two terms were not well placed as I was writing from memory. But the use of the term keep is irrelevant for the discussion as it does not appear in the proposed tagging. Corrected sentence from above: There is no need to use Burg, hrad, linna, Chateau fort, zamek etc. with roughly the same meaning when you can describe all of them adequeately as a castle with defensive character. bye Nop -- GRATIS für alle GMX-Mitglieder: Die maxdome Movie-FLAT!
