Sylvain

I agree with your proposal as the current tags are unsuitable for the hut &
shelter system in New Zealand

I would suggest the following as well however:

Lean_to:
1. the fireplace tag be option as many of NZ Lean_to have fireplaces
2. option mattresses tag (as above)
3. optional sleeping_bench tag (as above)


An additional Propsed_Feature/"rock_bivvy"

Details:  similar to cave but generally a naturally not very deep a
naturally
occurring rock overhang, or formed under a large isolated rock, often
modified with
the addition of dry rock walls to further enclose them from the weather
There are many of these in NZ which provide excellent all weather shelter in
remote
areas, in the absence of huts.  They vary in size and comfort and some have
fireplace, water supplies,
toilets, sleeping benches and/or mattresses so these tags would need to be
optional
