[Talk-GB] access:psv

2016-10-13 Thread Rob Nickerson
Stuart, Putting "access:" in front of psv is a documented approach as set out in the Conditional Restrictions wiki page [1]. This is designed to create a hierarchy from simple restrictions (e.g. access:psv=yes, often shortened to psv=yes) to the more complex. Proceeding with "access:" follows the

Most of Chris's blog appears irrelevant to this case. The cemetery/graveyard example isn't applicable. There's no "variations", "differences" or "flattening out the data into a monotonous grey". If you have 2 tags: X1 & X2 that represent the same object, & the data user checks for both

Dan, I'm not being dogmatic, I'm being practical. If a data consumer needs to edit the data rather than incorporate the options into their data handling stream they are making their process vulnerable to anyone's edits. If Stuart edits access:psv=* to psv=* his process will work, until someone

Dave, yes - sorry. Mistyped what I had been sent. It is only 127, two of which are one single instance of access:psv:bus, which surely ought to be just bus=*, and one single instance of access:psv:maxweight Chris - I will quite happily build in different tagging schemes if I feel that the

Chris, I think that's a bit too dogmatic, if you don't mind me saying. It seems to imply nothing should ever be tweaked, e.g. spelling mistakes. It's entirely possible that the key in question was a simple misremember rather than a deliberate choice. There have been many larger mechanical edits
