Now, of course if everyone looked to see if a tag is in use, and waited for someone else to use it, then tags would never get used. I understand your concern though. Do you use tags that aren't going to be rendered anywhere? The corollary to this is why would the renderers support tags that are not in use? It's a chicken vs. the egg issue... If you tag it, the renderers may follow. No tags, no rendering. Of course, using common tags is important... so looking at tag info lets you match the tags in use. However if a tag for the amenity you wish to tag is not defined, that doesn't mean you can't add it. This is a living and growing project. -- James VE6SRV _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
