I am not advocating the use of man_made=antenna with or in place of some 
other tag that already incorporates an antenna e.g man_made=telescope, 
telescope:type=radio

I am saying that at present there are mappers using less than precise 
tags with man_made=antenna and that needs to have some guidance in order 
not to end up with a bigger mess than it already is.
