Well, but that's not true :-) E.g. oneway can also be -1. And I do not argue what is more logical, because that would be 0,1, which takes less space in the database (and is used very very seldom). I want to make josm follow the majority and that's yes/no. > yes/no is not that clear. True/false and boolean logic is mainly known by programmers. Normal humans find yes/no more intuitive as tagwatch shows. > I personally wouldn't change it, as it adds no value. It helps unify the database a little bit. Also josm does not handle that unified ATM. Combo boxes use yes/no also (e.g. access key).
