First, what's the US standard for incorporated places? Should the actual form of government (town/city/etc) be used?
More importantly, how are unincorporated places handled? With respect to boundaries, census-designated places are not really suited for our use. Sometimes it's easy to define a boundary based on various historical or current factors such as subdivision plats or land use, but often this can't really be done and the only thing that makes sense is a single node. When there is a boundary, should it have boundary=administrative? (Probably not, since it's not an administrative boundary, but what if it's a well-defined planning area?) What place=* values should be used for unincorporated places? In some states villages are incorporated; do we skip this value? Do we use suburb at all, or is everything village or hamlet? _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
