[Tagging] Perimeter of a pitch

[Raphael]

Hello everyone

Does the area outside the sidelines of a pitch up a board, a fence, a
change in surface or similar belong to a pitch (sports field) or not?
I'm asking because there's [some disagreement][^1] about how to map
`leisure=pitch`: [like this][^2] or [like this][^3]?

Unfortunately, Wikipedia is unclear: in the article on [out of
bounds][^4] it says that 'the sidelines are the white or colored lines
which mark the outer boundaries of a sports field'. However, the
article on [pitch][^5] states that 'the field of play generally
includes out-of-bounds areas that a player is likely to enter while
playing a match'.

Best regards
Raphael
