ah, if only it were that simple :-) the API uses a hash and disallows repeated tags on ways and relations. but it uses a list for nodes, so you can easily get duplicate tags by the method you describe. >> In a few weeks time it just becomes official, and any existing ones >> will be removed. > > Hopefully first backupped/renamed for the useful tags. duplicate keys are made unique by adding a postfix number. an extra tag is also added, so that the modification is documented and can be searched for. cheers, matt _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
