Comment from aharvey
I would like to revert this (ie. remove name=cliff) because they aren't named "cliff", and it's causing issues for downstream data users expecting the name in the name tag.

There's a discussion of what should go in the name tag at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Names#Name_is_the_name_only . I don't believe that "cliff" makes sense here.

I've gone ahead and reverted this changeset (which only added the name=cliff tags) in changeset 33385884

Comment from swanilli
Two points:
1. I have stood there. It is definitely a cliff. It definitely makes sense to me.
2. There seems to be a lamentable tendency of some people to mistake Wiki guidelines as Gospel or some other divine authority. They are not. They are just what the name says, guidelines. The issue is what gets the message across accurately. Vague references to "issues for downstream data users" are unhelpful. If that is the best reason on offer please give a more helpful explanation. -

Hi Swanilli,
1. I'm not disagreeing about there being cliffs here, hence the natural=cliff tags still remain.
2. Regarding my comment about downstream data users, I can only quote my personal example which is [1]. I'm extracting names of features and using these in the walk description, and non-names like 'cliff' coming from the nameless cliffs you've named are an issue.
