I think that "-" is not a good choice because there are some places that already have the hyphen in their official name, like Castrop-Rauxel or Dessau-Roßlau for instance. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castrop-Rauxel There is also a common use of "/" to distinguish places (e.g. Frankfurt/Main, Schwedt/Oder, where Main and Oder are rivers used to distinguish the cities/towns from others, but maybe we could use the also common Frankfurt(Main) and Schwedt(Oder) instead, not sure if we need this at all, I think the official name would be "Frankfurt am Main" or "Schwedt an der Oder" and the above citations are short forms of it). cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
