Umm... here we have a difference in understanding. In Australia adn Im
sure in US and UK too, the legend is just a box (border or no border)
that has a list of the symbols and what they are.
The surveyors etc goes into the 'Title Box" with the name of the cave,
survey dates etc. That Title box does not include the symbols listed in
the legend.

Often though the word "Legend" does not get put on the map, sometimes it
does.

Internationalisation is not easy  :-)
