I completely agree, and like to add, that those "traces" in most cases will be in some form or another there (also "under the ground", or in builldings / the shape of buildings or sites, Names, etc.). You even see this in the US, which are looking back at a comparatively short history compared to "old" Europe. Even more you will see traces in Europe. The thing is that even though there is a strong connection, OSM and it's environment still isn't prepared to deal with this data, so at the current point we shouldn't encourage people to add long gone stuff. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
