The property that is denoted by leisure=nature_reserve is mostly separate from the protected area information. It means that humans are able to hike in a land wich is in a natural state. > Leisure is just a common, but not the inherent property of nature > reserve - the protection is: You're basically saying "I care about X, and you care about Y, and my caring about X is more important, so you are wrong." I'm not arguing that boundary=protected_area be deprecated or removed. Just that the existtence of boundary=protected_area does not make leisure=nature_reserve pointless. > "Usage of a leisure key, actually, might contradict a protection > status in a lot of cases, where nature reserve doesn't allow any > leisure activities.

The real world is complicated and "protected" is very complicated. Certainly around me there are "wildlife refuges" that allow deer hunting (to protect plants and toher animals from deer!). What I don't understand is why you dislike leisure=nature_reserve so much. If you want to have boundary=protected_area control the rendering if both are set, whatever. But there seems to be some notion that poeople using that tag causes you trouble, and that you have some basis to demand that they stop.
