Thanks for working on this.

<br>
There appear to be 2 competing tags for use with mountain ranges. <br>
Neither have any wiki documentation!<br>
<br>
<br>
A) place=region, region=mountain_range<br>
<br>
Mostly relations with outer ways only.<br>
<br>
<br>
B) natural=mountain_range<br>
<br>
Again as relations - with outer ways and at least some with nodes <br>
representing peaks within the mountain range.<br>
<br>
<br>
---------------------------------<br>
<br>
So .. to combine them into one and standardise the format?<br>
<br>
Introducing<br>
<br>
C) landform=mountain_range<br>
<br>
<br>
To map as a node - centred on the area, a simple open way along hte <br>
spine of the range, a closed way on the area of the range or a relation <br>
consisting of ways forming a closed are of the range.<br>
<br>
<br>
No entry of peaks, ridges etc as these will change with new entries, and <br>
can be forund by searching inside the area if the area is mapped.<br>
<br>
-----------------<br>
<br>
The new tag can run with the older tags so they will still exist while <br>
the new tag establishes itself.<br>
<br>
<br>
Well, what do you think?<br>
