Truthfully, I’ve seen it both ways: that’s partly why I asked (somewhat, but not completely rhetorically) “which (one of the two landuse tags) renders?” (Farmland or residential?)
I wasn’t tagging for the renderer, I was tagging according to the wiki, and only after many years after that tagging style was documented in our wiki did I even start to tag like that (so in fact, as a result, only rarely and recently). Tagging styles do change, that is another point of my post and “farmyard as including a farmhouse” has vacillated (been tagged “both ways” where it is both done and not done). The “overarching” idea I want to convey is that with good dialog “amongst ourselves” (I sort of duck out the “our” part: even though were all OSM, I’m not from the Southern Hemisphere / around there, but we do share most of a language and at least some tagging habits) sensible tagging strategies do emerge. This might be among a country (sorta happens, wiki emerges) among a particular group (motorists, hikers, mountain bikers…) or particular circumstances (when population levels are above or below a certain threshold, when an agreement arises to do a certain kind of routing using a certain method of tags…). The result of “we did a lot of discussion about this” can frequently result in “ah, at long last we have rather wide agreement.” Not always, but often enough that the investment in discussion (like this) pays dividends in the long run. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
