Multiple values for a tag is certainly useful and needs to be supported, IMHO. But, that doesn't necessarily mean that the API needs to support duplicate keys. Delimited strings are fine as long as $EDITOR hides them from you. Nevertheless, I think duplicate keys are the cleaner solution. If it really hurts database performance or if there are other technical reasons why way/key pairs must be unique in the database the API could concatenate the values and split them on data delivery. But, I am sure this has been discussed before, so forgive me. Matthias _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
