Hi, Please note the update of the power transmission proposal http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Power_transmission_refinement
1. Removing the man_made=pole / man_made=tower introduction - Deeper work should be done both in power and telecommunication fields to find a proper way to define supports (like tower, poles, trees, buildings, whatever) in a consistent and sustainable way that proposal can't cover. - The substation refinement proposal was accepted today and it was important to be consistent with its "hosted features on poles" recommendations. - Things stay as now and this topic may be come back in debate in a couple of months with a new proposal 2. Replacing cables=* and wires=* by bundles=* and conductors=* for power lines phy description as suggested by polderrunner on talk. 3. Power line description is done as "strings of towers". Numerical values to describe it are always given without any circuit considerations. Circuits (I.e. path used by power to from A to B) will be described as relations in the power routing proposal (which is currently draft) and will actually accept power=line ways as member. This prevent us to put useless redundancy (and consistency errors not to mention) in database. 4. power=cable deprecation remains here. power=line aims to be the only way to describe a power line whatever its location. Please keep in mind this big change is intended to improve the "system" approach more than any rendering or local terminology particular case... and it's hard work. You can send me any formal and constructive suggestion about that. Vote will begin shortly. Stay tuned.
