[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - residential=gated

2014-09-21 Thread Dan S
Hi all, Motivated by the discussion around residential=* sub-tagging, I thought it would be useful to get a bit more clarity, by taking some existing sub-tagging and putting it through RFC. Here is a proposal for residential=gated:

[Tagging] RFC: Student accommodation building

Hi all, Following the tagging conversation about student accommodation buildings, I created a proposal wiki page, to document the different tagging perspectives, and maybe one day work towards half a consensus ;)

Frederik, The tagging and the wiki have been that way for many years. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Bed_and_breakfast I share your discomfort, since I think of a BB as a different thing from a guesthouse. But over the years I've ended up using this tagging since it's documented and appears

Re: [Tagging] path vs footway

2014-11-04 Thread Dan S
One of the most important differences is that for highway=footway, we know that pedestrians are allowed (unless other tags alter the access explicitly). With highway=path we can't always assume that pedestrians are allowed along it. I know there are routing systems that care about this difference.

Hi - I don't have a direct answer I'm afraid. But please try not to think about what gets rendered - the default style shown on the osm.org homepage is just one of hundreds of rendering styles that are used. If there are existing tags in use, great, whether or not they show on the osm.org

Hi, No big objections from me, sounds useful. However it occurs to me that it would be useful to have some way of indicating _what_ it is the reception for. For example, if it was part of a site relation*, then a role like role=reception would connect it to the larger entity in a meaningful way.
