no, because the xml <tag k="<tag>" v="<val">"/> is decoded into k="<tag>", v="<val\">" (using C escaping). a form of escaping is already done for the nodes in 0.5 schema, but this has caused problems in the past. for 0.6 we are moving to a tags table with key/value columns for all element types. > Anyway; take any non occuring value as delimiter, to stop this discussion, > while we still have a broken api on way: to stop this discussion: 0.6 fixes this in less than 3 weeks. if this is really annoying you that much, please take a holiday for 3 weeks and come back. the referential integrity, tagging and other problems you're having to deal with will be gone* and the world will be a happier place! cheers, matt * hopefully. i guarantee nothing ;-) _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
