Why not suggest Olympic locations as next week's topic? Denver sounds
like a great idea; I've never been, but I'll trace some houses if it
helps someone out. If I'm lucky, someone might help me out with a part
of the world I'm interested in at a later date.
And lets go out there and keep making

You currently have this chicken-and-egg situation where you don't know if it's
worth using a tag because you don't know if it will ever be implemented.
But now you're just mapping for the renderer. Regardless of whether or
not Veterinaries get rendered, you should map them if you see them;
it's
Of course those are all good points and I support your veterinary
efforts; sorry, I think I could have come across badly during my rant.
I was arguing against the idea that we should only record (wiki
approved) features that are going to appear in Mapnik/Osmarender
tiles.
In truth, of course,
The most important thing, imho, is that different people who set out to tag
the same thing do it the same way.

Which is why keep right! OSM Doc, tagstat, tagwatch, et al. are all so
important.

Yeah, why not?
What's your definition of Free? Beer, speech or freedom? Following
your argument we'd have to call it

arguing about this ;-)

to know that at least *something* will render.
This seems like a confusing proposal to ensure that a tiny fraction of
a percentage of the whitespace on OSM.org gets *something* rendered in
it.

If you fork the project, and fund the upkeep of new servers,

Just tell me how you'd like the tags to be rendered. Maybe, if name
isn't given on a building, another tag should be rendered instead.
Perhaps 'name', 'user' and 'owner' in that order?
Tag 'user' was misused few
To be honest I don't see the point. You should use the already
existing landuse=military. School, parking lot, etc. that you
mentioned should be rendered on top of that, like landuse=residential.
Using landuse also avoids certain ambiguities like: which side of
the boundary is the military
Works very nicely on my N96. Thanks!

Sounds like start_date and end_date would work fine in this situation.
Historical mapping doesn't really mean much; we're only talking
about adding information about dates to features, and there's no limit
to how fine grained you could get with this. Ephemeral features are
just as welcome as
Ideally there would
be a start_date and end_date tag also that defines the period when the
object was present.

This would make me very happy indeed; have even registered
openpastmap.org in anticipation.

I imagined a system whereby the default rendered map page looked much
the same as the current Mapnik example, the only difference being the
addition of a second slide-bar that changed the temporal view. By
default you'd look at the map of the present day, but by pulling the
slide down (or
not really there currently, I
think that would be best done with another tag e.g.
not_a_valid_date_but_please_render_anyway_please=yes (but with a sensible
name) Perhaps things labelled with that would have opacity 50% by default.
