it should be okay for something's name to not match its classification? e.g. 'Rutland county council' not being a county council or 'Croydon canal' being something other than a canal I'm still interested in this definition of aquaeduct though, since the wikipedia definition of man-made water-carrying thingie differs from OSM's definition of waterway on a bridge _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
