[Tagging] tagging single trees

[John F. Eldredge]

In practice, it seems unlikely that any one will try to tag every tree in a forest, so, even if no rules are made about which trees to tag, it is likely only to be used for trees that are memorable for their size, have historic interest, are isolated enough to serve as landmarks, etc.  So, it doesn't seem likely to be a major problem in the long run.

Many people are tagging single trees, and usually use natural=tree for
this. Now there are some voices on the German ML that say,
natural=tree is reserved for "special" trees, and can therefore not be
used for "ordinary" trees.

I changed the wiki according to what I perceive actual usage, by
changing "lone or significant" to "single". Unfortunately this is
disputed at least by a few people.

What are your opinions on that?

cheers,
Martin
