I think that carpenters and masons should get experience from constructing walls. Many of my forts involve a lot of above-ground work (walled towns, castles) and it would be nice if my carpenter (who is almost always busy) for some experience.  I suppose that this would create a source of infinite XP from creating and removing the exact same wall.

Also: Do miners get XP from digging ramps? It's the safest way to do pit/strip mining.

I agree with building walls giving experience.  Afaik, digging/channeling anything gives mining experience, but as my miners tend to level up fast, I wouldn't notice if digging ramps didn't give EXP.

One of my miners just gained experience from digging ramps, so at least that works.

Seconded.

I personally would like to see a separate "construction" labor type.

I'll put in a murmur against letting construction add skill - other than perhaps Building Designer.  I like to use haulers as secondary builders (spares the masons to make more blocks), and would prefer if they didn't get a strange mode-capable skill that I already have plenty of dwarves with.
