[OSM-talk] [tagging] Feature Proposal - Voting - (man_made=dyke)

[Sam Vekemans]

Hi all,
It looks like this tag also could be set to a vote, i think there is
agreement that it gets spelled this way, as the OSM standard is for
british english, ... and not a "waterway" because it is man_made  and
usually concrete.. like a 'dam' yet it's purpose is not to retain
water from flowing into a river. ..
For some reason in the canvec feature set it's also listed as an area,
perhaps it could be if the dyke was wide enough to be used for other
purposes (such as a trail, if it was covered in gravel)

Anyway i think it's ready for a vote, it's been over a year.

Cheers,
Sam
