I'd forgotten about that--good point. Although surface as currently used seems to be mainly in the context of roads.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Oct 7, 2010 at 1:05 PM, Colin Smale <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:colin.smale@xs4all.nl">colin.smale@xs4all.nl</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I know we already talked about this, but actually no actions followed ;-)<br>
<br>
What is the current feeling for a new key "landcover"? Could resolve<br>
many issues, as often landuse is a mixture of actual "use" and<br>
"coverage".<br>
Seems like there is already landcover=tree in the database:<br>
<a href="http://taginfo.openstreetmap.de/keys/landcover" target="_blank">http://taginfo.openstreetmap.de/keys/landcover</a><br>
<br>
other values might be<br>
<br>
* sand<br>
* asphalt<br>
* grass<br>
* scrubs<br>
* rock<br>
* ice<br>
* lichen<br>
<br>
<add your proposed values here><br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
