[Tagging] [OSM-talk-be] how to map a fr:talus?

[Yves]

Hmm, as a French, I surely know what a talus is. 
However, I don't think the man_made key would fit all of them. While surveying, are to say if they are natural or man made. 
To my knowledge, a 'talus' can also have 2 sides, like a small but elongated hill.
