While doing my regular comparison of different sets of presets (see my talk at SotM Milano for more information), one of the more noticeable differences is the the presets that I maintain, and by extension JOSM, does not include building=civic. This was introduced later than building=public and by some wiki-fiddling and leveraging iD, has now outstripped the "public" value considerably in popularity.
In any case the question is here any actual differentiation between the two values, or are they effectively synonyms and just one needs to be presented?* Simon *If that is the case then iD is oddly inconsistent in that it replaces amenity=public_building with building=public, but uses building=civic when searching for "public building". _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
