I agree completely. This is something that should be improved: we need
at least some rough categories for aerodromes. Because it does not
make sense to me at all to render a grass strip exactly the same as a
big international airport.
surface=grass
OR
surface=paved
Some airports are locally categorised as 'domestic', 'international' ...
I lack expertise in this area but the public are aware of these two
categories.
This is open since years but nobody really took care about this
Rendering ... rather than a tagging problem.
Of cause this will not be easy as the regulations are different in the
different countries. But we should find some categorization. And any
approach is better than the current situation.
The surface tag is has been assumed by some mappers. Perhaps that needs
to addresses on the wiki?
