If that discussion is brought public at one stage, I'll be happy to help construct it (and in english), sorry not for subscribing to talk-it, ma parlo italiano come una vacca espagnola ! > to my mind, footway looks more like something specifically made for > the needs of people walking; a mostly urban feature that can be used > even with high heels, wearing dresses, when needing a stick for help, That was not how I read it, and if I count the huge number of people in the alps using it for hinking trails, I suppose I'm not alone in this case. However, I am just discovering a fact : What I understood in footway (a physical pre-supposition) is not writen anywhere on the proposal. So I'll better be off with path in this case (only fools don't change mind) and still miss someway to give the physical propertie, but in the end I could just use the "smoothness" tag I've been fighting for, the sac_scale and the bike_scale when it comes out. Then something like : highway=path smoothness=horrible sac_scale=hiking bike_scale=easy would do it. But still, I'm lazy, and that's 4 tags instead of 1... ( Note that there are no access tag, since in france 90% of hiking trail avec no restrictions at all, 9% are : dogs not allowed, 1% are bikes not allowed ) -- Sylvain Letuffe [EMAIL PROTECTED] qui suis-je : http://slyserv.dyndns.org _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
