Looks like berm is a term used/misused for some different things..
may be best to use something else? <br>

<div>I am not at all happy with "berm". It is unfortunately a
term used for a number of different things all related to
earthworks.<br>
</div>
<div>What is missing in OSM are clean-cut mapping possibilities
for (slopped) earth walls and for (one-sided) slopes.</div>
<div>Berm is neither of the two. In addition the main and
original meaning of berm is a step in the slope of an earth
wall. See the first diagram in the <a

that I would like to map properly: A river levee with two
berms.</div>
