Ah, good question. Firstly, amenity=cemetery should be able to be a node (as a placeholder for future conversion to an area) OR an area. As for landuse=*, look at the Key:landuse wiki page. For amenity=school, for example, a similar question arises, and the solution seems to be to use the value of amenity=* to infer the landuse. This would work perfectly for an amenity=cemetery. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
