The contribution is my own, not an obfuscation of history. The O keypress is just a little labour saving, not a charade. Rather than going through this charade why not just add odbl=clean to the node? Because that would be incorrect. The odbl=clean is not a I somehow assert that I would do the same, therefore ignore the IPR record. The tag is to indicate where their contribution have washed out and where the contributor(s) in question cannot reasonably claim any rights to the current feature[1] - i.e. subsequent edits have entirely overwritten any IPR in the non-acceptor's contributions. It's easy to see that the tag is therefore completely inappropriate for adding to any v1 objects, for a start. Of course, since the odbl=clean tag is so widely misinterpreted, by you and seemingly by many others, the tag becomes as meaningless as foot=yes[2] . It wouldn't actually make any difference during a changeover anyway - that's the whole point of the tag, after all, to indicate that even if you removed every conceivable trace of non-accepting edits from this feature, then end result would be the same - so there seems little point in adding it. So it's a bizarre tag - when misunderstood it's applied incorrectly, and when understood fully it barely makes sense to use it anyway. Cheers, Andy [1] http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:odbl%3Dclean [2] Originally meaning this is a legally declared 'Public Footpath', it was ambiguously confused with a general legal right of walking (e.g. on a bridleway). Automatic inclusion on all footpaths of any type by potlatch1 for a number of years, it became effectively meaningless as a designator for Public Footpaths, and a new tag (designation=public_footpath) was eventually created. ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

Automatic inclusion on all footpaths of any type by potlatch1 for a number of years [Brief historical footnote: P1 only ever included it on its public footpath and bridleway presets (and note that the former was indeed public footpath rather than footpath or footway or anything). I think the original intention was that other people might contribute tag presets for their own countries' path systems, but this was all about six years ago when I was still young and green enough to think that people might ever contribute tag presets. I'm not sure I ever thought that foot=yes meant this is a legally declared public footpath, I've always understood it to have the second meaning (public right of way for people on foot).] As you were... cheers Richard -- View this message in context: http://gis.638310.n2.nabble.com/Help-with-remapping-tp7187743p7192089.html Sent from the Great Britain mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

[Talk-GB] Help with remapping
I'm trying to do some remapping, and would be grateful for some help in situations I've encountered. 1.) Assume you need to replace a node which is in the intersection of several ways. If I simply delete the node and re-create it, I'd have to adjust all the ways the node is part of. This is slow and error-prone. Is there an easier way of achieving this replacement? 2.) Quite often the changes by a non-accepter are trivial (eg additional tag created by JOSM is the only difference. What's the best way of dealing with this? So far, I've left those nodes alone, but they will still show in the OSM-inspector despite being really OK. Is there any way to delete this tag other than re-creating this node which marks it as clean in the OSM-inspector?

Is there any way to delete this tag other than re-creating this node which marks it as clean in the OSM-inspector? OSMI makes an effort to highlight as problematic only those nodes where the removal of decliner content will make a meaningful difference. It should treat the created_by tag as harmless, i.e. these objects should just appear in yellow which is not cause for concern. In fact I wonder if I should ditch the harmless layer altogehter and have nothing that is coloured yellow, it seems to confuse people more than necessary. The idea behind the yellow harmless thing was to signal to the mapper this object has been touched by a decliner but is still considered ok, you don't have to remap it. I did that hoping that people would occasionally check if OSMI does the right thing ;) but maybe the time of the yellow stuff is over.
