[Tagging] Draft proposal for Key:aerodrome

[Colin Smale]

Point of order, also with half an eye on the "tagging governance"
discussion.... Are we going to discuss this on the mailing list, or in
the wiki discussion page, or both, or what? I suggest focussing on a
single platform, and placing a notification on the other platform
directing readers to the other platform, if you see what I mean.

It is a confusing value, no idea of a better term. There are also sailplane airstrips used to launch and land sailplanes. The launching may be done by a 'tug' aircraft. They can be open to the public for joy flights in tandem sailplanes.

This goes beyond the proposaled aerodrome=airstrip, in that it has more uses and also usually provides refuelling and basic primitive aircraft services.
> I think the reason why aeroway=airstrip is use is so that it does not render until zoomed in. Yes, a rendering issue taken care of by tagging.
