I agree on this. Its a bad idea for nearly square buildings to complain
on them. Not everying is 90° - Not even in Germany where we love
rectangular things.
But the point is that i'd like a generic way to to qa/validation
hinting. I just sent a similar mail in in a similar thread on the
German mailinglist.
I'd like to see qa/validation hinting tags be more organised:
qa:rectangular=no
qa:exit=no
qa:name=no
qa:housenumber=no
or the list form:
validation_hint=noexit;noname;norectangular;nohousenumber
So every validator could have the "suppress check XYZ" on this object.
