Generally breaking all applications in use by redefining the meaning of a tag is not a sustainable approach. If you want to introduce a "romanized version of the local name" why don't you simply introduce a new tag for it? Have a look at current int_name-values to see that "romanized version of the local name" is not the predominant current use. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
