The intention was that if somebody tagged it wrongly, it's likely that somebody could also do a search for the incorrect name. OSM search engines might want to use incorrect_name for a 'did you mean...' suggestion. It might be useful to distinguish slight spelling mistakes (such as the "Arthurs Close" mentioned) against cases where OS has a totally different name for the same bit of street. For variant spellings, there is no harm in adding them all as incorrect_name, alt_name or whatever. But I would not want an OSM search engine to pick up names which are known to be quite wrong. -- Ed Avis <e...@waniasset.com> _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
