[Tagging] Draft proposal for historic cemetery

[Daniel Capilla]

Hi, Paul.

Thank for your comment. That is correct. I have also used 
"historic=yes". It is the most obvious, though not the most specific.

A historic building is tagged "historic=building". This is a specific 
value for "historic". It could also be tagged as "building=yes" + 
"historic=yes". It is correct, but it is not specific.

This proposal tries to document in the best possible way a value in use 
for the key "historic". I think that historic cemeteries are features 
with enough entity to have a specific documented value for "historic". 
On the "Key:historic" page there are some well-documented values. [1]

This proposal is not very ambitious in reality. It only tries to 
document a value in use. Instead of directly creating the tag page on 
the wiki, I thought it might be a good idea to prepare a proposal. I 
think that with everyone's cooperation the result will be better. I only 
know the two historic cemeteries in my city.

Regards,

Daniel
