Historically speaking, having separate entrances for men and women was once common in some Christian denominations in the USA, as was having them sit separately once inside. This is why you see some older church buildings with two front entrances, one at the left front corner and one at the

How it's entered into the database, and how it's displayed, are two separate things. Humans are messy. Unless the API starts validating entries, entries will vary in format, even if we officially say that 46 C is the official format. But software can parse and normalize numbers. That said:

I think that, as for elevations, it should default to degrees Celsius. That is, taking the number 20 as a value would mean 20 degrees C. The tag could accept Fahrenheit if the numeric value is followed by a space and the letter F. Also, no degree symbols please. On Thu, Apr 9, 2015 at 9:03 AM,

Hi, I'd like an indication of the preference for the default unit of the temperature= value Say a mapper tags temperature=42 The options are to interpret this as; a) values would be interpreted as degrees Celsius. (Similar to the width key default.) b) values would interpreted by region.

I think if no unit is specified then it should be taken to mean Celsius worldwide. To define the unit explicitly use n[.n][C|F]. We should also state that the degree symbol is not required (and maybe that it should never be present). At least, that's my opinion. Andrew On 9 April 2015 at
