There's a difference between establishing that a tag is 1) a useful way to model some aspect of physical reality, and 2) that it should show up in a particular renderer. Use a tag if it is 1). If you want 2), that's a separate issue. >>As you can see the wiki doesn't play a role in this decision. > > And if *that* is the case, that should definitely be documented, and the > whole voting process abandoned as a distracting waste of time. The wiki/voting process is to establish whether or not the tag is 1). _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
