You could have some pre-processing done at the database level and have the $(key) syntax accepted for each and every tag. You would then have two different ways of querying the data: In edit mode (used by JOSM, potlatch, ...) the server gives you the actual stored value, like name=$(name:fr) name:fr="French Here" name:en="English Here" In rendering mode (every other use case which won't modify the data) the werver actually replace the values, so you get name="French Here" name:fr="French Here" name:en="English Here" (you might want here to refuse recursive replaces, to avoid some infinite loop) This way you get a generic tag values re-use feature which is transparent for data consumers and only need a small modification of API and editors (to query for edit mode). -- Renaud Michel _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
