I think that incline up/down is much easier to verify and much more unambigous (e.g. which elevation-model is used to express the elevation?), but also far less usefull. Everybody can see on the ground if a street goes up or down. > What? The key question is if a tag is verifiable. Incline=* is just as > verifiable as ele=*. It's just in a different form. The "good > argument" for adding incline=* is that it is 1) easy to read off a > sign (say, source:incline=sign), I think you're confusing 2 things here: the sign AFAIK doesn't tell the inclination but the maximum inclination that occurs on a certain road. 2) provides valuable information in > the meantime, while we wait for you to develop and import your ele=* > solution. the ele-solution is already established.
