* "The general view seems to be against IDs like this": what has happened with the principle "any tags you like"? Did we saturate the key space and not accepting new keys anymore? Can I read that "general view" documented anywhere? The "ref:navads_shell" key is the only one that is not verifiable on the ground, and is clearly added so the further updates do not have to rely on matching.
To chime in, and say I think it's OK to have external ids/refs like this. I've done an import which added such a ref and use that tag elsewhere. I can totally see the benefit for this w.r.t. to make it easier for OSM to interoperate with other datasets. With the obvious caveat, of "don't rely on it too much, the OSM community might get rid of it" _______________________________________________ Imports mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/imports
