They belong in closedstreetmap.com. That's a repository of information which isn't surveyable and isn't mapper-maintainable and is already being maintained by somebody else but which is available with the same syntax, semantics, and API as OSM. So you can easily render it on a map, but it doesn't "pollute" (a loaded word, I know) the OSM database. It exists .... in my imagination. -- --my blog is at http://blog.russnelson.com Crynwr supports open source software 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315-600-8815 Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | Sheepdog _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
