Potlatch lets you enter anything* from Map Features (or anything at  
all :) ). If it's not in the preset menus, you can just press the (+)  
button - to the right - and type in a new key and value.

There's a pop-up autoselect menu, but you don't have to use that.

* well, almost anything! Server changes last week introduced a small  
bug whereby you couldn't use any tags with a ':' in the key name, but  
that'll be fixed again next time the code is deployed - you'll just  
have to use a '|' instead of a ':'.
