Well, in the examples I have seen, they are not actually wrong. Just unnecessary in the UK when asphalt is the default. I know some here always want explicit tags, and that is fine in local conditions where defaults are problematic. I did send a message to one of the mappers, but got no reply. I suspect they are based in the USA and applying USA conventions. One reason that I find it irritating is where I have mapped roads very accurately and then armchair mappers come along with poorly aligned imagery with parallax errors and think they know better. So when I see any change in such places, I usually check to look for unwarranted changes. Which takes too much time. ael _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
