I don't see what your persauation has to do with anything, I'm looking at this from a practical point of view, it's easier to do translations in the editor and then have the editor do the processing into a pre-defined set of tags, rather than having 1000s of servers doing the translations every time they have to parse the data, that's crazy and complete waste of CPU time. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
