+1 As has been said a number of times, OSM is a "do-ocracy". At this point, more discussions just aren't going to resolve it. The highway=* classifications aren't perfect but are quite workable, and more details can always be added. Same for airports. Just pick something, like "importance=[1-5]" or "airport_class=[major|minor|regional|airstrip]" and tag them. Such values can always be translated into another form later, and/or it just gains traction and becomes the standard. No reason to wait further. - Alan _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
