Hello,
I just want to ask whats the State of "railway=incline"?
While it does not apear on map-features ist seems to be in use, as it can be
found on the "TIGER to OSM Attribute Map".
They are not rendered however.

At the equator, each degree of latitude or longitude represents a

degree is still 111 km but since cos 60° = 0.5, each longitude
degree is just half of that or 55.5 km.

Yes, they are probably using the same scale bar for WGS84 and Mercator.
As far as I know, in WGS84, the scale bar is correct vertically (lat), but in
Mercator, that scale bar is wrong both vertically and horizontally if you are
far away from the Equator.

I don't know what you mean exactly.
If you use JOSM with the Mercator projection and draw a perfect circle in the
North of Sweden, you are actually drawing a horizontal ellipse (east-west
oriented) in the real world.

Wrong. Quoting Wikipedia:
"While the direction and shapes are accurate on a Mercator projection, it
distorts the size."
In other words, the Mercator projection is conformal, but not equidistant.
In other words, it preserv
