Hello Warin,
I think that extending the defined values for intermittent=* could yield the same result and convey the very same information *without adding a new tag* (/don't we have enough?/)
Assuming (/and this is just an assumption at this time.../) that we are able to define a correct and agreed cutoff value for the frequency of an event for it to be defined /ephemeral /vs. /intermittent/, then we could simply add the following keys for intermittent=*:
* ephemeral_spring
* ephemeral_summer
* ephemeral_autumn
* ephemeral_winter
* ephemeral_dry_season
* ephemeral_wet_season
... and be happy with that! :-)
Cheers,
Sergio
