FWIW I've alway ignored JOSM's "Bing" -> "bing" warning and would be glad to see it removed, or reversed and downgraded to notice. While we do have a "standard values should be lowercase" best-practice in OSM, I don't think this should apply to source tags except maybe "survey" and "local_knowledge" : * Most source values, like Bing, are proper names and capitalisation matters. * Exact capitalisation is often expected/demanded by soures which allow importing into OSM. * There's no reason to treat Bing specially, yet I don't think that JOSM warns about "Mapbox" or "Mapillay". * "Bing" is twice as frequent as "bing" on taginfo, so suggesting the later goes against the general trend. -- Vdp Sent from a phone. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
