I am wondering (I wonder a lot lately ;-)) if some have already given a thought to the fact that nodes actually represent 2 different concepts in the current api: - a node in the geometrical sense, i.e. used to define a linestring/way - a POI
Wouldn't keep the "node" element only for POI (i.e. with tags) a better idea? E.g something like this: > <node version="0" lon="3.5348711" lat="54.1945783" > timestamp="2010-10-12T12:35:18Z" user="" id="-9" > > <tag k="highway" v="traffic_light"/> > </node> > <way version="0" timestamp="2010-10-12T12:35:02Z" user="" id="-2"> > <point lon="3.5317073" lat="54.1929773"/> > <nd ref="-9"/> > <point lon="3.5377391" lat="54.1960297"/> > </way> > Seems to me that it would: - be less confusing, both for consumers and editors - save db space - save memory/CPU cycle on the consumer side What do you think? - Chris -
