Going this route is really just reinventing XML, without the advantages of actually being XML (e.g. tooling, schemas). For example: <node id="123" ... > <tag k="FredericRamm:interesting" v="true"/> </node> versus: <node id="123" ... xmlns:f="http://osm.org/users/FredericRamm"> <f:interesting>true</f:interesting> </node> Not that I'm saying we should go that route, but if we want to start namespacing everything, we might as well do it properly. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
