[OSM-newbies] Private swimmingpool

[David Fawcett]

IANL, but if you can see something from the air, at least in the US, I
don't see how someone can have an expectation of privacy.

Most of my mapping has been done off of air photos, so mapping a pool
does not require trespassing.  I like seeing the pools and other
things like that on a map because I think that they can help one
quickly orient oneself to an air photo.  Maybe they shouldn't show up
in the default render for navigation purposes, who knows.

In support of relief or emergency activities (wild fires), pools could
be beneficial data.
