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

[Bert -Araali- Van Opstal]

Yes, those are the existing ones, thank you for listing the links Joseph.
They are absolutely not complete and avoid all tagging and mapping 
confusion, but a good starting point.  To better understand the 
problematic use of OSM in the southern hemisphere (they are also used 
largely in Asia and South-America if I am not mistaking, mainly through 
HOTOSM projects or as a basis for development of local tagging 
guidelines) and could be a good resource to reflect the mapping issues 
faced in the non-western world, namely outside of North-America and Europe.

Thank you,

Bert Araali
