For open cut mines there is another draft. IMO they are something completly different. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Surface_Mining The intention of this proposal is to tag the most important and most visible part of a mine - not the other parts, which are just normal buildings. The area of the mine can be tagged with landuse=industrial. > > and some mineshafts have winding gear on headframes > and lots of other things Having winding gears is the main purpose of a headframe IMO. lesi _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
