I read this as "lets find some country with no sufficiently organized local community to resists and push this nonsense idea of adding encoded coordinates as tags to features there in a hope to sneak this into OSM". This is exactly the arrogant and abusive approach what3words used for their proprietary system. The idea of tagging encoded coordinates is so ridiculous to anyone with a bit of understanding of computer programming, data processing and data maintainance that even after ignoring all the arguments in substance that have been voiced this should be universally rejected if for no other reason then because it would make OSM the laughing stock of the whole geodata world. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
