Re: [Tagging] How To Tag Coastlines That Are Also Cliffs?
Well since the cliff is usually an area extending from the coast (at least around here), maybe you don't need to tag the coastline but the place where the cliff starts, as a separate way. That said if you want to further define the coastline way by adding a type you will most likely have to invent you own tagging scheme since tagging multiple values like natural=cliff;coastline is frowned upon(?). 2010/5/1, John F. Eldredge j...@jfeldredge.com: It seems to me that indicating whether or not the water's edge is a cliff would be useful. For example, if you have small children, you probably wouldn't want to take them to a cliff-edge site. -- John F.

I'm working on an area of coastline made up of cliffs and beaches http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=36.94817lon=-122.065787zoom=18layers=B000FTF. There are many sections where the cliffs drop directly into the ocean and it seems logical to me that the coastline and the cliff should be represented as one single way where this is the case. Coastlines are at the mean high-water mark. This could be at a variety of types of surface: cliffs, beach, shingle, sea wall, mud and so on. The way tagging seem to be heading is to add extra modifying tags. So the natural=coastline could have an extra coastline=* tag. This could be something like coastline=cliff coastline=beach coastline=shingle coastline=sea_wall coastline=mud coastline=mangrove This process allows renderers and other processors to continue using the natural=coastline tag as now, but later they may add rendering or processing for the extra coastline types. There may also be cliffs or sea walls inland of the mean high-water mark, but these are already catered for.

[Tagging] Relation for addresses far from the street
I'm slowly filling in the local mega-retail complex near me: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=49.82432lon=-97.20558zoom=17layers=B000FTF Its a pretty large area, and there are a load of businesses and shops within the area. All of the roads in the area are for the commercial development only; ie not named streets. Thus all of the businesses have an official address on the main road, Kenaston Boulevard. Take Wok Box for example; I've added all the addr: tags to indicate its address. I was about to create a relation for the address information (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/House_numbers/Karlsruhe_Schema#Using_Relations_to_associate_house_and_street_.28optional.29) but then got to wondering what I should associate the POIs to. I mean TECHNICALLY the street address is Kenaston Boulevard, but the POIs are really so close to the service roads, I wonder if I should make the relation to there? Thanks!
