Thinking about it a bit further, restricting tags in del.icio.us _didn't_ solve the problem of reusability. If I tag something as "open source" in del.icio.us, should it be open_source, or opensource, or openSource, or OpenSource? I've seen all four used. Interoperability is best ensured by community and convention, not by hard-and-fast rules; and we're doing pretty well on the former. cheers Richard _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dev
