I think we should follow the example of the "abandoned:" namespace, as in
http://wiki.osm.org/wiki/Key:abandoned , and use something like:
intermmitent:waterway=river
or
seasonal:waterway=river
This instantly solves the problem of roads that can be driven only on dry
seasons:
seasonal:road=secondary
And solves the semantics problem of which aspects of the feature are seasonal
and which are not (e.g. the name of a waterway or road doesn't change through
seasons)
As this has already been done to abandoned and disused features, I guess that
all the data conversion tools are ready for something like it.
Cheers,
