This http://www.google.com/trends?q=%22drive+through%22%2C+%22drive-through%22 suggests the popular form is not hyphenated, but two words. Please can we maintain the customary underscore to join words in values, as found in motorway_link, level_crossing, kent_carriage_gap. name=value has long been an exception to joining words with "_" in values. I don't suggest changing that. And if service=drive_thru is to be revised, perhaps drive_thru=yes/no from Map Features should follow the same plan. Also redirecting drive_thru=yes to drive_in seems very wrong. A drive through and a drive in are very different in my experience. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Key:drive_thru&redirect=no _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
