There is no single island called Dokdo. The two main islands in the group are Seodo (Seo is 'West') and Dongdo (Dong is 'East'). So I suppose there are two questions: 1) What is the correct way to tag a group of islands with their well-known name when the names of the individual islands are not well-known or commonly used and are different to the name of the group? 2) If the answer is 'use a relation', have I done it properly, and if so, why isn't Mapnik rendering the name properly? 1) Imho it's mapped correctly using a multipolygon relation. 2) If and how a feature is rendered is up to the renderer.

[Tagging] tagging no truck access in US
what are people doing for this? the truck oriented access tags in the wiki are oriented towards UK legal categories whereas i'm basically looking at a simple sign that says no trucks. the wiki would have me use goods=no hgv=no whereas truck=no seems like a logical extension of the current access tags. thanks, richard ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
Re: [Tagging] tagging no truck access in US
It might seem a silly question, but what's a truck? You're correct that HGV in the UK has a specific legal meaning*, but does truck have one in the US? If it doesn't, would something like a Ford F-series count? What something like an El Camino? Cheers, Andy * Westminster Council via Google reckons that: The technical definition of an HGV is a 'mechanically propelled vehicle that is: * of a construction primarily suited for the carriage of goods or burden of any kind; and * designed or adapted to have a maximum weight exceeding 3,500 kilograms when in normal use and travelling on a road laden.' ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging

Re: [Tagging] Groups of islands, how to tag?
2010/11/19 Nathan Edgars II nerou...@gmail.com: That definition is correct - for single islands. piece should probably be changed to piece (or group of pieces) to make it work for archipelagos, and fit with the general intention of the key (to determine what priority should be given to labels) It's not exactly unheard of to extend the class island this way; for instance search http://geonames.usgs.gov/domestic/ for name islands and feature class island. I wouldn't do it like this, even if the USGS does it like this. I would use island for a single island and something else for a group of islands. I wouldn't use islands either, because that is too close. Archipelago sounds OK. I wouldn't even require a place tag.

I agree that it makes more sense to have a separate tag for the weight limit.
