Hi
 
I am slightly puzzled by what seems to me to be a tagging anomaly. I understand 
from the wiki that there was a tag "highway=stile" and that later on a newer 
tag was introduced "barrier=stile".
 
If I use "highway=stile" alone, JOSM shows an error - not as a true validation 
error but as a bright yellow "no entry exclamation mark" icon. I can replace 
this in JOSM by adding the additional tag "barrier=stile" which replaces the 
pseudo-error with a nice stile icon.
 
If I use "barrier=stile" alone, JOSM shows the stile icon - but the node does 
not render on the main map in osmarender. I can fix this by adding the 
additional tag "highway=stile" - it then renders as something like a "not =" 
symbol in osmarender.
 
To force both JOSM and the main map (under osmarender) to look nice I need both 
tags - which seems a bit odd.
 
Has anyone out there had a similar experience? What is the recommended tagging 
for stile - as a walker currently trying to get all west Cheshire public rights 
of way (and major permissive walking routes) onto osm via seven-years' worth of 
time-stamped gpx files, I would be glad of advice.
