No, but taking short cuts and minimising can do harm if people assume one thing, and other people assume another, just look at the mess with highway=cycleway, some deem this very bad because it lacks information that they deem to be critical, again, it's human nature to try and opt for the easy way out and the least amount of effort possible most of the time and the end result could be a mismash of guess work based on what you perceive to be normal. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
