Both systems are in use and were in use before we started working on this GNS stuff. The tiger tags are one example, but there were alt_name_N tags before we started as well. If you want to have a discussion about changing all of these worldwide, that is fine, but this thread is about fixing the alt_name:2 ones. Please either weigh in on that, or keep silent. I do not have time to have a general discussion about broader topics of how multi-valued keys should be handled. There have been dozens of threads that discussed that and no one has ever come up with a good solution, so I am not going to have this thread get dragged into the same discussion that has been had many times before. There has been one person who has said it makes sense to change them, and all of the other posts have been about discussion of other topics. So unless someone has some concrete reason _not_ to convert the few mistaken ones, I will go ahead and do that. We can have these other discussions some other time when people are not waiting on the results. - -AndrewBuck -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJUDjNFAAoJEK7RwIfxHSXbqawP/04K518SqEtxPAPPV7HmPmNU p71Qhz3uZXC8DMEOPVjar+KhCh5CKVy/s3JugGTBknQWTAH+pdTYsGeMRMT/2UuC WIglGrseB97WBgDoFyKA4O3QtB1YK3fUWX/lKvtEdlPVgGc6pjVwdkWpHhk+v0ci k7kwKV8u6MJ2ydezRwDu1qX8usr+T8HUIyTYEGIxwDrwGh56wDLThs05Jd6AalXN JfaHAQ8UohEJDTMoMCuMCw+hwPpmpPK15jpUKx6xcS2wHoAv5R1q+vvs52Wp6Lm4 +DYad0B5OcT5SKxZEfRsQid5sQoeEuizryXrW1ScfjaWLA3ufYazqLzzpaV5s97+ ZU+4m79HQ97/GeAEOQzMbF6ZlhYx2hnbcBbDdQZhjQaP+7xdjXXZxWjBdVfseZVi PAiwuvoU+yS2FxV9m4i88deOmwwYxZnywUMiJb0aG2r5K9c8fQnENZ9eoaVnp+cR wygzqgPs9WhXlYvB+VmptPmxi5sKczyCPQQ58eesqSyH1M96u+roISBKtp3NJjHx /1hpnX/ZPIF3jWSVobVhLOAbsWEO7sKugvHdTAfPquby7AWIzYtUJ7baaOBUAkrV 9cZRn+kzS2aD/GNlpTrPRrfFjwIGkqggGkBNa2ko+6O0tZWWisUosHaLKMVoXLEg FuZ4K5i8hhDYPdRsTj2X =Hj/v -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
