I immediately said I was ok with the new-tag solution, but it seemed to me that more people in multi lingual areas (including myself) find the $(xxx) version nicer, so that what I did.
I'll be perfectly content with a new tag, no name tag, and patched renderers. And if that solution can be agreed upon I have no problem to modify the patch. Unfortunately I did not follow the __noname__ discussion, so I will not question your conclusion. But I suspect that here the situation is a little different, since the "name" tags in a multi language parts of the maps are already broken, and should probably go away. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
