There's no such thing as "base maps" or "special maps", just "maps". Just because the standard OSM Mapnik layer doesn't have a single- interest focus (as the cycle map does) doesn't mean it deserves to become cluttered with whatever bonkers tag someone has voted on this week. From a cartography point of view, I find the idea of a map automatically inheriting extra gubbins in your suggested way pretty abhorrent. cheers Richard _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dev
