    <p>I would like to see an area tag named Marae.</p>
    <p>The many Marae that I have been welcomed to have many discrete
      elements within them.  Eating, Meeting and Residential buildings
      being the most common.  Many now have medical centres.  Less
      common are burial grounds within the area. But Parihaka, Taranaki
      is one such.</p>
    <p>Not uncommon is a front palisade and a gathering area just before
      it.</p>
    <p>So there is a variety that a single point does not convey.</p>
    <p>And, of course, they are found throughout the length and breadth
      of Te Ika a Maui and more sparsely in Te Wai Pounamu<br>
    </p>
    <p>For the western side of the Wellington Region I can locate five
      and I am sure there quite a few here I do not know.<br>

              <p class="MsoNormal">It’s now possible to use JOSM to
                import LINZ data, in addition to our modified version of

              <p class="MsoNormal">Separately, does anyone have
                suggestions on how to tag ‘Water Races’ – they are
                unique to Otago/Canterbury.</p>

              <p class="MsoNormal">My initial thinking was:</p>

              <p class="MsoNormal">Additionally, any ideas for how to
                tag Redoubts? (there are only 32 in total, see
