O.K. Then I am with you. :-) This is a concern to OSM, that is close to my heart. The problem is, that - as far as I know - every person may offer an editor. If this is true, with more and more editors the problem will grow in future. Cause one popular editor, that is not aware and does not follow these roules, could be one editor too much, because it could damage OSM-database and in particular the laborious relations considerably. And because of required special registration and possibly paying money for the editor-software, it will be more and more hard, to test and bugfix them. And what will be, if the coder is not willing or able to fix? _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
