Re: [Tagging] Is crop=yes tag completely and utterly useless?

It's unlikely that a synonym of landuse=farmland will be accepted by most mappers. That's why I suggested using something like landuse=farmland + farmland=cropland - the key farmland=* is already used (though not in a very consistent or helpful way). Or cropland=yes would also work fine. For

landuse=meadow is also used for pasture, as mentioned on it's wiki page and description. Since it's not always obvious if grass is going to be grazed or cut for hay, it would often be difficult to tell the difference. I normally only use landuse=farmland for cropland, since the other times of

[Tagging] roads with many names

Where I live in rural Colorado, many of the roads have 3 names. The county designated one like "CR 2", but often have an alternate name everyone uses like "Corkscrew Gulch Road", and then many have a US Forest Service designation like "FS 729.2B". I usually use the common name as the 'name' tag,

Normally it would be "ref:usfs" rather than "usfs:ref". I frequently use tags like "ref:FR:STIF" where STIF is an agreed tag within FR (France). And yes, the main ref for the cited road would be "ref=CR 2". Included spaces in a ref tag vary by local consensus. Some places might use "ref=CR2". If

Don't know how you deduced "no space?" from Martin's comment. A space is an alphanumeric character. In any case, as I mentioned, there is normally a local consensus on space-versus-no space, and as others have mentioned, it's up to you. The problem with space-vs-no space arises particularly with
