do you mean this bit? "I'm talking about combining the best parts of the data from two "approved" sources and reflecting both sources in the source tag. This is not possible, without deleting and recreating the original object, if the source tag becomes read-only." there's no reason (in theory) the person carrying out the import of the second, or third, or whatever, 'approved' source, couldn't temporarily be given write-status for that tag. it was only intended to be read-only for the majority of users, who editing/adding things one component at a time will osm entertain this idea, and if so, are any developers willing to work on it _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
