[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - shrubbery

[Bert -Araali- Van Opstal]

I also see no problem in plural shrubs. Actually it would be good, to 
keep it similar like we have natural=tree and natural=wood (I know not 
"trees" but it's a word to name a group of plants, same like scrub is, 
shrubs is to name a group). I would prefer shrubs, but also add that we 
can use it on a node.  Not all mappers like to draw areas so for me it 
would be OK for general mapping just to put a node in the centre where 
the group of shrubs is located.  We still remain with natural=shrub 
(singular) to map an individual shrub or natural=bush to map an 
individual bush.
It's not good practice, I know, but it's better we provide the option 
because some mappers will do it anyway. Agree ?

Please to all, don't make a step backwards, I was also preferring to 
bring this under natural=scrub however I understood there is a clear 
need for a separate tag due to the human intervention, so please, to 
help us move on, try to understand this and accept the new natural 
value.  If you are not willing to compromise, all due respect for that, 
you can still vote against the proposal or stay neutral, but opening 
that discussion again will not help us and Vincent anymore at this 
stage. Keep in mind we are creating guidelines, not rules. You can 
always add your own keys or amend a basic proposal once accepted.
In my view we are close but this proposal needs a lot of examples to 
describe how it is suitable to full-fill everyones preferences, which 
can be easily added later on.

Next we need consensus about the definition and we are good to go voting 
? Waiting for Vincent's modifications.

Greetings,

Bert Araali
