[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - protection_class=* (Words, not numeric codes)

[Joseph Eisenberg]

Kevin,

Would you have time to move this proposal forward?

I've been looking at the protected_area classes, and there are several
that are confusing and overlap with other features, especially
protected_class = 7, 19, 21, 29, 97, 98, 99.

And several are duplicates of more common tags:

boundary=national_park (de facto) for protect_class=2

boundary=aboriginal_lands (approved) for protect_class=24

landuse=military + military= for protect_class=25

I like the way your proposal has suggested changing these all to more
memorable and intelligible words as values of "protection_class=",
like "protection_class=recreation" instead of "21"
