Re: [Tagging] Billboards and other kinds of advert

2010/7/3 Tobias Knerr o...@tobias-knerr.de: The information key is currently only defined as a subkey for tourism=information, so I'd rather not use it. Amenities tend to be something you might actively look for. How about using man_made instead? Sounds good. Isn't that simply a

Re: [Tagging] Cable distribution cabinet

2010/6/14 John Smith deltafoxtrot...@gmail.com: +1 maybe power=station should be the power stations and instead of using sub-station just use power=transformer... Good idea. However for me, as non native English speaker, power=generator is also obvious.

Re: [Tagging] Cable distribution cabinet

2010/6/14 John Smith deltafoxtrot...@gmail.com: In a power station there could be lots of generators... Sure, but who knows where they are? ;) Anyway, I can create a proposal page with 'power' tags update. ___ Tagging mailing list

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Orphanage

2010/5/28 Roy Wallace waldo000...@gmail.com: Right idea, but from my perspective landuse=* shouldn't be used to describe an individual feature (like an orphanage), but to describe the use of an area of land. If you want to do tiered tags like this you'd use something more like
