[Tagging] Use of highway=track vs highway=service cemeteries, parks, allotment gardens, golf courses, and recreation areas

[Bert -Araali- Van Opstal]

We don't have specific local tagging guidelines, except the Highway 
Africa tagging, we are working on that creating local working groups. 
But that's a long process as you will understand.

I will do my best to make a summary of what I found through the comments 
and discussions here, not representing how it is used across the world, 
I lack the means and resources to do such a broad investigation. But if 
a such a summary can help, very willing to do that but will take one to 
a few days.

Greetings,

Bert Araali
