Using osmxapi i've discovered that there are a lot of "wrong" sac_scale tags.
I think that the reason is due a missing underscore in two-words vaules
like "mountain_hiking" written as "mountain hiking".
What should we do? is it possible to do a batch correction?

I can beat that. There are signs on the canal in Market Harborough and

why.

What data are you talking about? Do you mean the actual vector
geometry created as part of the mapping, or do you mean the extra

Good point. I would suggest that the cars are carried on public transport
along a 'route' defined using the route relation of type=railway. I would
suggest that the road network is connected to the railway station at each

I *love* the POI feature. For people that are looking for different renders
of the map to show different amenities, it can pretty much do it in an
instant! It's a winner.
