sub_sea:type is okay to be removed - the only value in the database is inferred, it's only from the import waterway:type will be okay to remove once I deal with the 250 or so exceptional cases manually. As an aside, completing the rest of the NHN cleanup mechanical edit discussed and consulted on in 2011 (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mechanical_Edits/pnorman_imports#NHN_Tag _cleanup) should deal with a lot of the objects. _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
