I actually think it leaves things in slightly better shape - like me tagging a post box outside, or tagging my addr:housenumber. Sure, it's a "half solution" to mapping the entire world, but this is OSM for goodness sake. You are right, though, that tagging things *ambiguously* does indeed leave things in worse shape - but that is certainly not what I am suggesting! But anyway, you seem to be insisting that I not tag any stop signs until we have a solution to the "fundamental problem". I have no idea for that, unfortunately, but I'm all ears. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
