Sure, but uneducated decisions reveal a lot about people's intuitions and interests – two factors that deserve to be taken into account. When mappers can fill in data without further reflection and still produce useful results (which I argue is the case here) then that strikes me as a huge usability win! > It is also a result of how the tags have been introduced It's true that brand was introduced later than name, and that it has been at a disadvantage due to rendering support and the key's history. That's probably not a coincidence, though. I assume it was introduced and adopted more slowly precisely because not that many people were interested in making the distinction in the first place. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
