That's a way of dealing with the problem at a data level, but it doesn't deal with it at a people level. To use TagTransform you either have to accept the presets (which could be out of date) or come up with your own transformations, which could take a lot of research and still not reflect what mappers are doing. If I understand what Steve is talking about, he wants a way for mappers to *document* what they think the equivalences are between tags. So that would be the source material you'd plug into TagTransform. For what it's worth, I think that's the wrong way of going about it. I think multiple descriptions of the same tag in different locales is the way to go. -- Jonathan (Jonobennett) _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
