[Tagging] Re : Ski resort (once again)

[yvecai]

Janko,  to group a bunch of elements into a relation or add same a tag 
to all these elements is not quite the same. A relation carry a meaning 
(type), while with all these tags, It's seems to me just a collection 
that you can find with a query :)
(Actually, we all know that both are technically feasible, no need to 
fill up the history for testing ;-).

Quoting the wiki page you linked:
"Grouping relations really only make sense if the grouping is neither 
geographical (as discussed above) nor exclusive ..."

Exclusive you take care of with a semicolon, why not.

For the geography, I think of this 'resorts' as a kind of geography by 
itself, after all (not sure I use the term properly, pretty sure I 
don't, in fact).
When I go skiing to 'Le Risoux', I don't speak about the forest 
(http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/For%C3%AAt_du_Risoux), nor the mountain 
(http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mont_Risoux), but rather of a bunch of 
pistes, along with the 3 entry points and their cabin where people drink 
tea selling you tickets, and so ...

Now, my 'rationale' :
As I go skiing here and there for mapping, I more than often go to place 
I don't know yet. I check websites and forums about snow and skiing and 
resorts and try to find out how I go there on low-res scanned maps. It 
took me quite some icy road to find 'Le Risoux', and I first found these 
pistes by the longest road. I'd like to be able to find it more easily.

When I look for 'La Seigne' in nominatim, I found 'Locality La Seigne, 
Les Hôpitaux-Vieux, Doyenné du Haut-Doubs forestier, Doubs, Freie 
Grafschaft, France 
<http://www.openstreetmap.org/?minlon=6.37080049514771&minlat=46.7974090576172&maxlon=6.37080097198486&maxlat=46.7974128723145>'. 

Although geographicality close, it's not the same as the  'Resort La 
Seigne, Les Hôpitaux-Vieux, Doyenné du Haut-Doubs forestier, Doubs, 
Freie Grafschaft, France 
<http://www.openstreetmap.org/?minlon=6.37080049514771&minlat=46.7974090576172&maxlon=6.37080097198486&maxlat=46.7974128723145>' 
I'm looking for.


Also, IMHO it would be good if we could avoid this:
