A "style" consisting of a thin vertical stone (perhaps some sort of slate) is quite common in West Oxfordshire UK. These are typically a little more than 1/2 metre in height, so can be stepped over by someone without disability. It doesn't seem to be among those shown at http://homepage.ntlworld.com/matthew.richardson/gatesandstilesofthebritishisles/gallery.htm So if such a tagging scheme is adopted, it probably needs a type variant, maybe type=solid or type=stone. ael _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
