Seen some activity on http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User_talk:Davo In particular, sletuffe mentions an abandoned 'usability' proposal. A good one too. Because it covers a wider range it could be used to trigger different rendering at different levels depending on what the map is intended fo

I agree with this 'least disagreement'. I would be happy with both the three you mentioned or surface and a new one to replace tracktype and smoothness. I hope that whatever we decide we can define clearly what the state of the surface is for the value used. Perhaps in some cases we may want t

I greatly appreciate your summary, Kytömaa. I'm not sure exactly where to go from here, I'm taking the "path of least disagreement" (so, I decided to support 3 tags as possible/necessary to make this judgement: tracktype, smoothness and surface). At some point in the debate I felt that tracktype an

I agree these threads are nearly impossible, but to continue the discussion could you post a link to the page on the wiki where the discussion can continue (possibly broken into sections). Thanks, Dominic On 5 January 2014 07:05, Dave Swarthout wrote: > Well said. I'm for that approach. > > The

Well said. I'm for that approach. These threads are nearly impossible to keep in your head as new comments and views emerge. I'm not sure consensus will be easy to arrive at in either case but it's worth a try. Create a new "unified" proposal page and go from there. I agree that the smoothness val

OK, this discussion is huge and conducted in a great manner. But being so huge, I feel lost ! So, here is an attempt to summarize where we are and what the options seems to be. Maybe by identifying what we already agree on, we can see the way into the rest ? If people think its a good idea I co
