True, but they should. Anything else is just meaningless. >> This is not the case here: highway=stile is a completely legitimate >> way of tagging a stile. > > no, it isn't, its deprecated. > http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Deprecated_features > > The term deprecation is applied to features that are superseded and > should be avoided. That's only if you agree tags can be deprecated. I don't. Neither do many other people in the project. Deprecation implies and requires many things which we don't have, such as a controlled versioning system to phase them out, and most importantly, tags which were precated in the first place. Deprecation means nothing, and is simply a word that someone on the wiki has decided to use after some other people on the wiki decided to use a different tag name. highway=stile is still a completely legitimate way of tagging a stile. Google the mailing lists for the many conversations that have been had on this issue.
