Just a thought – as there as a zillion different map products and services being stood up, two things would be helpful regarding symbology: It might be helpful if we could work towards standardizing symbols – say around the FGDC Homeland Security Working Group map symbol set at: http://www.fgdc.gov/HSWG/index.html If those working on the data side through OSM were able to help align the tags/classification of objects towards those things for which symbology is clearly identified, that would be helpful. Even better would be sub-classification that matched the symbology (eg., a major trauma center would be a level 1 hospital versus an aid station with a doctor might be a level 4 hospital).
