Further, it is a 3-letter acronym which could mean different things. Acronyms are generally not suitable for OSM, oops, Openstreetmap.

Hi I've recently noticed that man_made=MDF has been added to man_made template on Map Features page. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Template:Map_Features:man_made This key's page say this tag status is De Facto. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:man_made%3DMDF I strongly discourage the use of MDF as a man_made feature since it's only a functional component of a telco central office. According to picture, it's usually a large metal grid where public copper landlines are connected to equipments which provide services. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Hvt-ports.jpg Mappers won't be able to see MDFs unless they get in central offices building which may be difficult. I suggest to don't add such tags to Map Feature prior to deeply refine telecom tagging scheme. All the best *François Lacombe*
