I see that the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico (http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/66538123) is tagged as: hazard = oilspill landuse = cemetery name = oilspill Is this correct tagging for such a feature, or should it be considered vandalism? -- Steve

Strong oppose to motorway_indication. First of all, it's confusing. Secondly, it encourages people to tag roads which are not motorways as highway=motorway and motorway=no. Thirdly, there is no definition given for what a motorway is. On Wed, Jul 14, 2010 at 12:32 AM, David ``Smith''

I agree, I don't think that an oil spill should be mapped. And the landuse=cemetery is certainly just vandalism. On -10/01/37 20:59, Simone Saviolo wrote: 2010/7/15 Steve Doerr steve.do...@blueyonder.co.uk: I see that the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico
