I agree that would be appropriate if there were any strong oppositions besides chriscf saying "I don't like it". Reading the talk page, there are the following: "smoothness and surface": Addressed by way of explanation: any mentioned surface types are examples, not criteria. Furthermore, they're no longer used in favor of describing what vehicles can use it. "subjective": This is really about being vague. Addressed, in that there are clear criteria for how smoothness should be determined. "catastrophic": The term "catastrophic" doesn't fit. Addressed by using a different term. "impassable": how can a way be impassable -- if it's impassable, it's not a way. Addressed by noting that smoothness only applies to wheeled vehicles. Not all ways are meant to be used by wheeled vehicles. "laterally varying smoothness". This one was not addressed, but is IMO a very minor one, as OSM does not currently have any general way of dealing with anything that differs between left and right on a way. "elaborate on 4wd": Addressed by using more correct term. The rest are not seriously objections. There are: ...various alternate proposals...some vehicles missing from the table...a suggestion to break it up into a bunch of different keys ... discussion of default values...discussion of the deprecation of another tag. So yeah. Only one unaddressed objection, and that one is very minor. If I missed something, I'd love to be pointed at it. If not, it's my opinion that the smoothness tag should stay in map features (assuming that map features is to remain the place for recommended tags to be listed) On the topic of whether that's a good idea and/or fixing the size of map features, I think the thing to do would be to only list keys on map features. Values should be documented on the Key:* pages. -Alex Mauer "hawke" _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
