because "mapping what's on the ground" does not imply to copy every single letter from signs in every case. "drive thru" is not a name but is a generic description hence should be described by a formal tag. For tags we agreed on using BE. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
