Peter, i get the distinct impression you are not actually interested in the answers to your questions but use them as vehicles to push your point of view in tagging. If you are interested in my opinion ask open questions and show some appreciation and acceptance of the answers you get and don't just continue asking questions until you get an answer you like. I will none the less try to answer your new question with 1) As i have already said historically absolute use numbers have not been a significant criterion for decisions in the standard style and they would not be a criterion in my decisions. I can't speak for the other maintainers of course. 2) A good documentation of a tag on the wiki that accurately describes how the tag is acutally used is very helpful for both mappers and data users and as such very useful when making rendering decisions. Attempts at writing a tag page (or a tagging proposal) on the wiki specifically to get it rendered however are just annoying. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
