[OSM-talk] How to tag: milestones, trigpoints etc

[Gregory]

Hi all,

I was wondering is there an existing way to tag a marker that is something
for when you don't have a map, but of interest to the sorts or people that
are OSM mappers.

The sort of thing I am thinking of:
milestones/posts, that say how many miles to the next town
trigpoints and various markers, used in accurate mapping
london coal posts, used to mark the london boundary where entering coal was
charged a tax, some have moved or disappeared and it would be good to mark
where existing ones remain.
historical mapping locations such as the one I mention in
http://www.livingwithdragons.com/2008/01/last-day-of-mapping (4th paragraph,
2nd photo)

If nothing exists I would propose it but I'm not sure what to call it.
Perhaps historic=marker type= ?
