Hi Marc!
First of all, I'm not against putting these things into OSM as they
often can be used as a good landmark in rural areas.
Actually I'm a bit unsure about these two proposals because:
- maybe they are too detailed - so we will end up with a lot of very
detailed but highly related tags (which are then hard to learn)
- maybe put both proposals under religion? Won't these often still be
used for local pilgrimage so their "not so historic"? Or course this is
a border case, as most of these are often rather old.
- there's already historic=memorial
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Tag:historic%3Dmemorial which
interferes with your proposals I think. Maybe simply use it and extend
it, add a subtag for these special memorials? AFAIK, often these wayside
things were raised to "thank god and virgin Mary that I've survived this
thunderstorm in 1857" or such - so in fact they are a sort of memorial
anyway ;-) However, as these are often weathered, today it might be hard
to find out what actually is being memorized upon.
Again, I'm just unsure how to find a good tagging solution for this, but
I'm not convinced of the current proposals ...
Regards, ULFL
P.S: While I tend to put comments into the proposal page, I didn't want
to have two discussions about the same thing - so I'll use the ML for
this one.
