Hang on a sec. :) Gorm has already changed highway=ford on _ways_ to ford=yes, highway=something_or_other. This has happened. Arguably there could have been some more discussion beforehand but hey, it's happened. What's principally under discussion now is changing it on _nodes_. John Smith's posting (second in the thread) refers: "There was/is very good reasons why highway=ford wasn't good enough for ways, but why do nodes need to be updated at all?" Gorm replied "Simply to de-clutter the highway tag and to be more consistent". The debate is as to whether this is adequate reason given the disruption involved. (Same reply applies to Kevin Peat's posting.) cheers Richard -- View this message in context: http://gis.638310.n2.nabble.com/highway-ford-vs-ford-yes-tp5668436p5697874.html Sent from the General Discussion mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
