It should not be a blacklist but a whitelist. Most tags make absolutely no sense with a ; in them. Today its highway tomorrow its landuse, maxspeed, bridge, tunnel, width, height building etc which get combined. The very easy fix is to refuse a merge/combine when there are different tag values on the 2 segments with a popup. The user then can cleanup by deleting the tags on one of the segments and then join. (This is the proceedure i use with josm aswell as its much quicker than to go through a lenghthy list of multiple choices) The more advanced solution (But probably a lot more confusing for the user) would be some multiple-choice like in josm. I'd prefer the first solution. Still everything is possible but its hard to get it wrong. Flo -- Florian Lohoff f...@zz.de We need to self-defend - GnuPG/PGP enable your email today!
