Hi,

Yes, it's what I did regarding the original topic of this 
conversation. That's all sorted now.
I think Warin refers to Matt Ellery's additional query from yesterday 
regarding a different mapper who has been adding descriptions/details 
in brackets as part of the name tag.

It was a question about tagging techniques. Asking on forums with
a larger user base than one seems appropriate.


Where I am not certain as to a 'best' method of doing
something .. then I contact the list as that gets more ideas
from a number of people.


Which is what he's done.

There probably are some uncooperative mappers out there who perceive any
comment as  criticism and insist upon doing things their own way in
defiance of convention. But, surely the starting assumption should be that
people are cooperative and just unaware of the conventions?

I did contact the mapper regarding the motorway example that started this
conversation via changeset comment (and got a positive response and a thank
you for trying to establish the best way of tagging).

I think that is because they expect a "mind your own business" response, in
which case there is no casting vote available.
