a) you will add a note or FIXME to express this to the following mapper. At least you have a 50% chance that it is already right. b) smell=awful ;-) ? This is not a waterway but a lake or swamp or s.th. similar c) I am not familiar to artificial canals without inclination, but maybe the do exist. Anyway they would be a special case which would merit it's own special subtag to express this. I'd consider this a really rare situation though, which I had never to deal with in my mapping. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
