Re: [Tagging] "Feature Proposal - RFC - (office=courier)"

The fact that office=courier doesn't attempt to replace post office seems a step in the right direction. So let's think of a massive courier - linked a regional or national one. This combination will vary, but: "Tag" level - a business that does something else ( a convenience store, a strawb

I have now changed the tag name from "depth" to "length", as there haven't been any more comments and the definition already said it was about "length". Bonus question, why not map adits optionally as ways? Shouldn't the tag be "man_made=adit_portal" if only the portals are mapped and only nodes a

Hi Kelvin, I still don't see how this proposal addresses any of the many concerns brought forward in the previous amenity=courier voting or this thread. Just changing amenity to office doesn't make the whole post-office/courier tagging any better (quite the opposite in my opinion). Tobi A
