Not a question of 'satisfying' me. <br>
But rather finding the best tags for your use. <br>
And then defining them. <br>
<br>
The problem is that people 'miss use' tags that others use for
something else. <br>
<br>
historic may be used by some to simply indicate past use, and that
to me is wrong. <br>
Some significance historic event that is evident is some current
feature.. fine.<br>
I could not use historic to describe the past use of a feature. <br>
I would use it to tag some significant historic event. <br>
For example if a historically significant person did some historic
thing at the school .. then I would tag that, I would not tag the
school it self as historic. <br>
<br>
<br>
Another example? <br>
Some past churches have been converted into homes. I would not tag
them as historic just to document there past use. <br>
