Yup. If it rendered, people who read this list would use it. If enough people used it, editors would offer it as a preset (for iD somebody would have to raise the issue on github since Bryan Housel recently announced he was no longer following this list). A couple of vicious circles there. but style devs rejected adding its rendering before its use spread a bit. I don't know if they have rejected this specific idea, or even if they were asked. It's just that they often require that a tag has been used sufficiently in the wild before they consider adding it. Some sort of vicious circle, in fact? > As I said, two of them. It won't be widely used until editors offer it as a preset and it renders. So we're at an impasse. A proposal to introduce it that suggests dual-tagging until it takes off enough for editors and carto to support it seems the only way forward - not guaranteed to succeed but it might. I might even write the proposal myself. But only after I get a feel for the mood here. So far nobody has heaped scorn on the idea, which is a good sign, but I'd like to see a little more support first because if people here don't see it as sensible then neither will most ordinary mappers. -- Paul
