Hi,


man_made=windmill 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:man_made%3Dwindmill

according to taginfo looks to be used for the 'traditional' water 
pumping windmill used in Australia and America.

These are mostly metal towers with metal blades ... not I think was 
intended by the original tag.


See

wikipedia American document with photos 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aermotor_Windmill_Company

History - Australian document

So the question is;


Is this migration to include the metal structured windmills acceptable?


If not.. what tag/s should be used?
