And you completely missed my original comment then, not only is a policy needed on how to depreciate existing tags, such as the flow control thread was talking about combining various things that control the flow of water with some additional new tags, but you also need to be able to depreciate existing tags, give people advance notice of the change, dual tag if possible and finally be able to mass retag in the database. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk -- John F.
