Hi! Lately I've been working on a rather complex MapCSS style for JOSM [1]. It heavily uses some new functionalities implemented in JOSM a short time ago, e.g. the functions split, get and regexp_test. Those made my life a lot easier and I'm very thankful for their implementation. But now I'm curious how MapCSS will further develop. If each MapCSS renderer implements extensions on its own I'm afraid it will lead to JOSM-MapCSS, Halcyon-MapCSS, Potlatch-MapCSS, ... and we will end up with a lot of incompatible style sheets. This reminds me of the internet just a few years ago and (I think I can speak for the majority here) we definitively don't want to go back there.
Don't get me wrong: I'm very, very thankful for the improvements in JOSM and I even hope for some more to come, because the list in my head of what I want to visualize is still quite long. But I'm also aware that a uniform, common standard is important for the further development of this great idea. What's your opinion on this matter? How should MapCSS develop further? best regards, Martin [1] http://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Styles/Lane_and_Road_Attributes _______________________________________________ Mapcss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/mapcss
