It seems it got sidelined there in the abandoned section in 2007. There is no reason for it to be on the rejected page, indeed, if it is widely used, why not just approve it due to precedence? If it's used, and a default in the editors, it can hardly be rejected. And what about the long standing shop=* definition? > So the question is how to tag shops selling only food that are small? > Should shop=groceries be used (and perhaps somehow added to map > features or proposed features, or some other tag should be used? Seems reasonable. > And should that changeset that converted shop=groceries into > shop=greengrocer be reverted? The changeset in question broke data. It unilaterally changed the definition of ~200 shops. It should be reverted. -- Regards, Thomas Wood (Edgemaster) _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
