[Talk-us] Tiger vs. GeoBase

Re: [Talk-us] US Route Tagging With Relations

I like the idea. In GDF - a (supposedly) standard exchange format for geographic data, they have the concept of "composite attributes". I think of a relation used in this way is really better described as a composite attribute that can be applied to many elements. It's best to specify highway
