Saying it's the way it was done in the single worst import we've done in the project doesn't help make it any more appealing. The right solution isn't to look to the US Census or other organizations, but to go back to basics and try to find a scheme that works for OSM. > Can we begin discussion of this?

I don't think that's the right solution because that's precisely what brought about a discussion a few months back where NE2 wanted to delete Silver Spring, Bethesda, and a whole lot of other cities and towns in the US. Political boundaries aren't the most important thing, certainly they're less important than actual usage. - Serge _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
