Hmm, I would think that if you're marking it as unknown, you already know it's not a footway (footway is a rather lowest-common-denominator value as pedestrians can go just about anywhere) IMO if it's sufficiently unknown that it will have to be revisited anyway for more accurate classification, marking it as a road rather than a complete unknown isn't really going to be helpful to anyone. I don't think it's a good idea for the highway tag to be used for so many non-road things -- but that's probably a discussion for another time. -Alex Mauer "hawke" _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
