[Tagging] Proposed tag value: surface=bare_rock

[Warin]

Hummm ... the mappers want more detail .. the renders less?

A solution?

surface=rock

rock=sandstone: limerock; granite etc

...
Possibly some mappers (with little to do?) will also want


surface=grass

grass= buffalo; couch; etc

?

Most of the surfaces I map are so variable I'm usually using surface=unpaved. The paved ones? Paved, concrete or asphalt.
I don't usually place surfaces on parkland, sports fields etc. Too much detail?
