[Tagging] Fuzzy areas again: should we have them or not?

[Florian Kratochwil]

In my example (named forest part) I thought the bigger one had a name. 
Turns out the big forest-polygon is unnamed --> I will cut out the small 
named part so it does not overlap anymore.

Anders, I think I have a solution for your naming Problem.

Ifyou have two or more objects, which together form a named area

 1. If there a more general term you can use, use it! This is what you
    did in this wetland. I think, the name tag should just be in this
    big area and not in the smaller ones.
 2. if there is no general tag, take place=locality (if unpopulated) or
    place=region (if populated)

Best Florian
