OK, if it is consensus that this is more intuitive this way, I agree it would be better to live with the ambiguity and keep the shorter tag for the above ground levels. What I have experienced often is that people don't count the ground floor. If a building has ground floor plus floors 1-5 many say the building has 5 levels. I guess this is because the last floor is called 5th floor. > Colons in keys are likely to make many casual mappers uneasy about > editing said tag, let alone two of them in one key. well, many keys have colons currently, there is also underscores replacing spaces, I think we'll have to live with that, but might hide it in some editors from the mappers, if this makes things more easy. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
