Whether there is an "overwhelming" need is not the question. The question is whether allowing for the annotation of two kinds of maxheight is a good idea. Aun has pointed out that "many countries have two different signs for max legal height and max physical height, and its usages can be very different". This, I would argue, is a reason to allow for the possibility to differentiate between maxheight:physical and maxheight:legal. Another reason is that it would help clarify the *meaning* of the "maxheight" tag, which may be advantageous for readability/maintainability - even in the case where only one kind of maxheight restriction is applicable to a certain way. Does anyone have any arguments against the above scheme, and if so, do they outweigh the arguments for it? _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
