Currently there are two ways to tag a conservation area:

boundary=national_park

or

boundary=protected_area
protect_class=1 to 7

The first is generic, the second is specific as to what level of 
conservation an area has.


I would have assumed that if you were proposing to replace the class 
numbers with phrases then you'd just create a phrase for class 2, rather 
than trying to redefine an existing tag.
