[Tagging] surface=pebbles -> surface=pebblestone ?

[Volker Schmidt]

I don't think it's the same.

I am interpreting and using these two tags like this:

*pebblestones* is a road surface where pebbles are set in sand or mortar
(?) and is typically seen in old cities. Example:

*pebbles* is similar to gravel, only that loose pebbles are used in place
of the gravel. The pebbles are bigger than the gravel pieces, and rounded.
They are not set in any way. (example:

*pebbles* is also used as beach surface. Example:
