In my opinion: no it wouldn't suffice, because it doesn't identify the operator among all the other King's Colleges in the country. IMHO it's not encoding a relationship into the tag, it's just an unambiguous name. Anyway it's harmless! > This thread seems determined to undermine the University of Cambridge map by > wanting to change everything it relies on. Well no, clearly no-one's doing this with an intent to destroy the university map!

But this kind of discussion is necessary for us as a local community - otherwise we'll never really share information about how we tag universities, hospitals etc. As long as we keep it from getting sidetracked, and assume good faith, we'll be OK. I know you would have liked all the discussion to be done and dusted during your planning stages, I'm sorry I wasn't around for it.
