Do you mean when using the proposed camp_site= tag Ian ?  No, no scope
or need for subjective here. I personally get a bit annoyed when OSmers
use "subjective" like its a swear word but here, no need for it.

The steps nominated represent a reasonably consistent progression. And
very simple tests to see what level we are talking about.

It could be compared to using highway=. I'd be pretty surprised if you
have not used that at some stage. But in fact, the "interface" to
camp_site= is heaps cleaner than to highway= !  Whats the basic
difference between "residential" and "unclassified", how many houses
along the side of a primary road need be there ? And if we tag =track,
suddenly different rendering rules seem to apply. 

Truth is, we like to classify things, places and people into groups, it
is how we handle the complexity of the world, we do it unconsciously and
often blur the edges. But we need to do it !
