Martin - Do you have any suggestion for cleaning up the civic=* subkey I was
suggesting for building=civic in this way?
I assume we need a big generic key, and then a many subcategories that fall
under that key.
Building=civic
+
civic:legislation=city council ?
civic:administration=motor_vehicles ?
That kind of thing? It would allow for a lot more description with much fewer
tags. I was thinking of letting the amenity on the building dictate if it is a
city_hall or a DMV, but this seems to be a good chance to follow the
key:subkey=subkey_value structure.
I know it isn’t Building:civic=city_council, Which seems to be what you are
advocating (I think), but we have to work within the existing structure for
building=X & X=* still, right?
