Well I don't to discuss regexes actually. I learn nothing from your words. It will not help newbies at all. There lot of complexity in OSM already, starting from GPS collection to complicated tags and their poor documentation at wiki. I see no reason to complicate things with introducing any king of regex. Regular mappers get nothing from regex you wrote. Dollar means currency is USA, nothing else. "1;2;4;5;6;7;8" - just find missing "3" here, with any regex. I will not continue discussion about it with you actually. Regexes miss set logic, regex miss default and missing values. As you mentioned they require processing power. It will eat all of your cpu. If you don't trust me just ask any DB admin is it good idea to query values in database using regexes. I'm sorry, I don't believe you are entitled to speak for the whole > Russian comunity. in fact, you have the same communication issues > with Russian mappers as with this mailing list. Ad hominem. So what? I speak only for myself and my observations. If you cannot follow links I were mentioning thats not my fault. How this is relevant to tagging guideline at all?
