Specialisation should build on that, not replace it. </font></div><div><font face="Verdana">You don't tag a forest as individual trees with leafcycle and all, even if you could make beautiful maps if everyone does that. You don't tag scrub or shrubland by mapping all the bushes, shrubs, grassy patches and sand areas, even though anyone who wants to tag individual shrubs and knows about can do that in addition to the more basic approach. <br><br>Seen from the perspective of a mapper, a scheme should allow the basic mapper to tag visible features without much detail, and the expert mapper (or the mapper with more time) to add more detail. "If you don't have the details then you can't map the feature", that does not help the map.</font></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>
