Rationale

Not everything can be classified with a tag system, so just like description=* this one mtb:description should give mountain bikers the possibility to add additional descriptions to ways suitable for mountain biking. It should only be used for information that does not concern other users of the way, in order not to clutter the description=*

Applies to

highway=path highway=track

Usage, Tags and Values

Value is plain text, e.g. "Mind the greasy rain grooves!", "Way becomes very difficult to cycle on when it's raining.", "many hikers in the evening", ...

Language of the value should be the local language (like in the key name=*). For localization we can add a language suffix if needed (e.g. mtb:description:fr, mtb:description:it mtb:description:es)

Some suggestions for slightly more (or less) interest depending on season

Not to be mistaken with "note", which is an internal key for mappers and not part of this proposal.

Deprecates

nothing

Rendering

Could be added on mtb specific maps to the name of the way so that it's displayed. Or included to info fields.
