There are too many to list, but whilst this is topical, I have a minor 
problem with natural=*. It's far too general. I mean, everything under 
the sun is either natural or man made.

Also historical=* is just too subjective to be useful. Everything, by 
definition, is historical; even this email.

I don't have specific alternatives to those, except to say entities 
should be primarily tagged with their physical attributes.

Cheers
