Maybe defining better at which cases you are aiming, could raise support
for the permit tag. I agree that some cases of "permits" are better tagged
as "private" because it is essentially the same situation, while others are
not well described with "private", because you can easily get a permit and
use the way as if it hadn't a restriction. Is "do something special"
involving a lot of time and or money to obtain, or can only some people
with special requisites apply (e.g. tribal, religious or professional
exceptions)? It might all be called "permit", but the effective situation
is very different.


Cheers,
Martin
