Hi,


There appear to be 2 competing tags for use with mountain ranges. 
Neither have any wiki documentation!


A) place=region, region=mountain_range

Mostly relations with outer ways only.


B) natural=mountain_range

Again as relations - with outer ways and at least some with nodes 
representing peaks within the mountain range.


---------------------------------

So .. to combine them into one and standardise the format?

Introducing

C) landform=mountain_range


To map as a node - centred on the area, a simple open way along hte 
spine of the range, a closed way on the area of the range or a relation 
consisting of ways forming a closed are of the range.


No entry of peaks, ridges etc as these will change with new entries, and 
can be forund by searching inside the area if the area is mapped.

-----------------

The new tag can run with the older tags so they will still exist while 
the new tag establishes itself.


Well, what do you think?
