If he knows for sure, that on that road from point A to point B is ref=42 and not ref=56 as the OSM data says, then the user should fix it as I wrote in previous email. Remove the ways from the current relation and add the correct ref tag to the ways themselves, or create a new relation for them. Problem fixed! Note, that if the edit was mistake after all, then QA tool analyzing road network should catch that. If he's not really sure about his data, but wants to alert locals "hey, here may be something wrong", then he should use FIXME tag as for any other dispute. -- If I understood your scenario correctly, it can be summarized as: "Let's use conflicting ref tags for road disputes instead of fixme tag." Personally, I don't support this view. Best regards, Petr Morávek aka Xificurk
