about tagging zones of an area

Hi,

what you think about the following proceeding for tagging zones of an area.
Following is usable for OSM?

First: in my view it would be logic, to ticket a relation with name ("name=Zone *") etc. and make it by a further parent relation to a zone ("name=Area X").
But "Disadvantages":
# more complicate for user (has to get along with parent & child-stuff, non-named lines/ways)
# bad rendered in Mapnik (double drawing lines, names inappropriate placed)

so I would propose:
# Linien/Ways get a zone-namen
- name=Zone * (Area X)

# Relation-areas (outer/inner-role, object) get a zone-tagg and typ-tagg
- boundary=protected_area
- protect_class=2
- type=multipolygon
- site_zone=*

# the collective outer border gets a further relation with the main-area name
- boundary=protected_area
- protect_class=2
- type=multipolygon
- name=Area X

a propose by "Martin":
for ticketing the zones (site_zone), there can be introduced further differentiated taggs like:
# if common usings
- buffer_zone=*
- habitat_buffer_zone=*
- catchment_zone=*
- water_catchment_zone=*
...
# if contamination
- utilisation_zone=*
- noise_exposure_zone=*
- emission_zone=*
- industrie_emission_zone=*
- traffic_emission_zone=*
...

the values might be mostly numbers.

regards, c.
