Has as an example been found yet? There are areas that are void of
vegetation for most of the year, or even years, that change with the
right amount of rain.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Many desert climates can be mapped as natural=sand
(for dunes and other areas of sand), natural=bare_rock (for
bedrock and large stones), natural=scree, natural=shingle, or
natural=heath (for areas of dwarf shrubs), but we still need a
tag for unvegetated areas which are not sand, rock, stones or
vegetation. While these areas are rare in many climates, they
can cover fairly large spots in some very dry areas, and we
should provide more precise tagging since "natural=desert" could
be any of these things (or even natural=scrub)

sure, you could also spend a lifetime mapping rocks, and when
you’re done, you start mapping smaller rocks ;)<br>
