Stunning work, Andy. I've recently been pointing people to Sutton Coldfield as
an example of the standard to which we Bristolians should be aspiring.
One rambling question for now... As one maps an area in such detail, what kind
of principle do you operate when you encounter useful information that can't
yet usefully[1] go into OSM for now. The blurry lines between pub, bar, cafe,
restaurant and fast food are well-known examples, that I am often tempted to
represent using the semicolon. Buildings with multiple uses, such as art
centres with galleries, cinemas and cafe-bars, are another common complexity
for which multiple nodes feels like a hack that will cause too much
information, or at least too much text, on most renderers. And you mention the
issue of multiple floors - Bristol's new Cabot Circus shopping centre is a
scary mapping prospect on that score alone. Maybe in other words I'm asking:
how often and with what methodology do you use the 'note' key?
- L
[1] i.e. render, or be useful in other well-known OSM-powered services... or at
least be added without confusing simple-minded renderers that can't handle
"amenity=cafe;bar"
