[Tagging] Kerbs

[Matej Lieskovský]

I'd use "normal" or "regular", leaving "raised" for "above the norm". Both
values are quite rare, but I guess that is because most will simply not tag
it. Or (as the wiki discussion suggests) use kerb:height in cm.

Looks like that wiki page could use updating...
