It's usual within OSM, given the history, to use the British English term for a tag, which in this case would be (colloquially) "pavement" or (legally) "footway". That probably explains why footway is more commonly used. s _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
