Actually there is a 'mantra' on a german mailing list stating that, "we are not tagging for the renderer" But matter of factly a similar idea crosses my mind from time to time. Proposing a tag-combination: label=yes name = Mainstreet (e.g.) displayzoom = 12 label = yes : This would mean that the node has no physical representation name = 'foo': Label to be displayed displayzoom = nn : the zoomfactor (or higher) that will result in displaying the label at a given zoomrate. 'Labelling' like this could also help when there are many labels/captions to be displayed in a given area and avoid interference - IMHO -- -m*sh- ___________________________________________________ | harry w. graner |mail: hy [_at_] sha-mash [_dot_] de |--------------------------------------------------- [public gpg-key on request] take a look at my blogs: http://sha-mash.blog.de _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
