<div class="PlainText">Hi,<br>
<br>
More than 10 years ago, the "Water details" proposal was accepted. It <br>
included the now well-known tag "salt=yes/no".<br>
<br>
Up to the proposal, the tag "water=salt" was mostly used for salt <br>
waters. Since its deprecation, the usage has been not really been added <br>
anywhere and is very slowly getting removed. Currently, it's mostly <br>
still present in some areas of the USA.<br>
<br>
Since "salt=yes" is now far more popular, I suggest ending this all with <br>
an automated edit, retagging all "water=salt" to "salt=yes". What do you <br>
think?<br>
<br>
<br>
Thank you - Emil<br>
