Re: [Tagging] minus or underscore in attribute values?
If the term in question is normally written as two or more words, connected by hyphens, then hyphens should be used. If the term is normally written as two or more words, separated by spaces, then the spaces should be replaced by underscores. Replacing a hyphen by an underscore changes the meaning.

When the word is cable-stayed (one composite word) the tag is also cable-stayed, while for tags made up of 2 distinct words like "foo bar" the space gets replaced by an underscore: foo_bar because formal values (finite lists of predefined values) must not contain spaces. Another variant is the colon used to create subtags like in historic:civilization cheers, Martin ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging

[Tagging] minus or underscore in attribute values?
Hi, another mapper metnioned to me that it is unusual to have attribute values with a minus, like bridge:structure=cable-stayed On the other hand, it is an apporved proposal - what are the opinions on that?
