Tomb = a place with something (remains/body/ashes etc)
Cenotaph = a place without that something (remains/body/ashes etc)

If tomb=cenotaph then money in your bank account = no money in your bank 
account? You can send it to me. :)

--------------------------
I would think most cenotaphs are in commemoration of WW1 & WW2 ... and 
as such are specifically mentioned in the OSM wiki for historic=memorial 
as "usually remembering special persons, peoples lost their lives in the 
wars. "

--------------------------------
I have just gone through the LPI cenotaphs (valid&legal OSM data) and 
added those not in the data base as historic=memorial with 
description=cenotaph ... in this way I avoided invention yet another 
tag.  You can add the description tag to anything .. even a tomb.
I have also add the description tag to some cenotaphs I know that are 
not in the LPI data base (but in the OSM data base .. I added them some 
time ago).  I know there are a lot more around .. used infrequently .. 
11 November and ANZAC day spring to mind.
