Actually I don't see this "subkey" vs "mainkey"-problem. There can be objects with more than one "main" key without being a real problem. You might also use advertising as an attribute (advertising=yes). There are already 1269 advertising=billboard in the database (my guess is based on this proposal) while the man_made=billboard (is this what you are refering to above, right?) is marked obsolete http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Billboard and seems to be an almost duplication of the advertising proposal (so I agree that it is obsolete). When thinking about the key, please also consider importance. How many people do want all those advertising features in their db? Using an own key will make it much easier to filter this out, compared to the situation if we used man_made or even amenity for these. In the case of a flagpole it isn't necessarily a "subkey", it is describing an advertising flag, while a flagpole is a pole (and could have a flag attached or even not), but I am not insisting on this. My main values are sign, column, billboard and screen and maybe wall_painting (because there are some nice historic ones), the rest is fine for me, but I don't care much (i.e. sculpture, flag) because they don't apply to the areas I map (AFAIR they were added on suggestion from other mappers or they added them themselves). > Also, one parameter for billboards regulation is the size but also the > elevation (at least in my country), which is missing on the wiki. The size is not missing (there is a suggestion to add height and width) and of course you could add ele as well. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
