2012/2/21 Frederik Ramm frede...@remote.org I don't think that a tagging style that works best in Europe will automatically also be the one that works best in South America. Any attempt to force everyone to use the same style will automatically make the map *less* good in some places. I think that it is one of the great strengths of OSM that we can allow people to map what is good for them locally, and we should not throw that away just because some programmer somewhere finds it easier to roll out his iPhone app if tags are synchronized the world over! And if there's three or four different tagging schemes for the same thing in the same country? Changing in quantity, genre or spelling for instance.

These schemes will not spontaneously appear, they take time and I'm sure that there will be enough people on this list to point out the error of heading down that path. :-) -- Cheers, Chris user: chillly ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
Re: [Tagging] Tag approval process or its absence (was: Voting for Relation type=waterway)
That's some kind of consideration, like the one I proposed some time ago, about building a clean tagging scheme, but has led to a discussion about another topic and died. My +1 will always go to cleaning. Cheers, Stefano ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
