This may be true from an archeological point of view, but a tag does not have to be a scientifically exact term. Most common tags are not exact matches (e.g. motorway, secondary) or even need looking up in the wiki or a template before you can use them (tracktype=grade3). If we can make non-scientific tags work everywhere else why deviate for building types? bye Nop _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
