I think it could be useful in a not so long future.

Start from scratch a project is difficult and more with one project like osm (with high skills needed): infrastructure (servers), software (xml schemas, rendering software), etc. I think a bit change in xml schemas could serve us like a universe schemas. But It's just an opinion. I don't know the tech details of osm: the dtd schemas, the software used to serve the maps, etc. Perhaps it's a more deeper question for answering in this list. Regards to you, Xan. @James: if google did it, it's useful. The enterprises don't waste time.... They want to make money. So that information is useful in some way. _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
