I continue to oppose the usage of man_made=tower for electricity lattice towers (that what has been power=tower until now and which is 4,8 Million times in use). Why should we change this well established practise, which would require 4,8 Million new additional tags (tower:type=electricity) and which doesn't even help to reduce potential multivalue conflicts? At least I'd use man_made=power_tower or something similar, but IMHO if there are problems with power=tower having other infrastructure on them this should be dealt with in an alternative way possibly keeping power=tower. cheers, Martin
