<html><head></head><body>Consistence is a standard English word, but a relatively uncommon one, compared to consistency. It would be good to tag any hot springs that are caustic enough that you wouldn't want skin contact, whether due to acidity or alkalinity.<br>

I agree with your arguments why a specific tag "natural=hot_spring" is better than "natural=spring" and "temp=*". It is
something different.<br /><br /> Not sure about the word "consistence" which looks strange to me (but I'm not native).<br /></blockquote> <br /> "consistence" is not standard English. You probably don't mean<br /> "consistency" either. "content"?<br /></blockquote><br />seems I am am bit archaic with my English. Content, composition, characteristics. <br />Not required to be a detailed chemical analysis, a practical description like<br />mud, saltwater, freshwater, sulfuric water, mineral water. Possibly multivalued<br />with a list of the main minerals where notable.<br /><br />Meanwhile I thought the same tag should be good to characterise the water quality of <br />the oceans, the Dead sea, the Azov sea (if it still exists) and freshwater... would <br />be a pitty not to have this.<br /><br />So perhaps "water_characteristics" ?<br /><br />Richard<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><hr /><br />Tagging mailing list<br />Tagging@openstreetmap.org<br /><a
