[OSM-talk] intermittent streams

[James Stewart]

I cannot find any note in the documentation for intermittent streams.  
Usually they are marked with a dashed blue line. Has anyone discussed  
this, or uses a tagging system (I cannot find anything in tag watch).
Do we need type= intermittent, perennial , ephemeral, with the default  
being Perennial http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perennial_stream
The same would apply to ditches, and even some rivers.

The renders could then pick up on this and render in the usual way.

Since I am a mountain biker, intermittent streams become excellent  
descents in the summer :-)  (and some paths become streams in winter)
