So I was happily tracing a lake last night when I noticed a bunch of
completely unconnected nodes with no tags in the area. I mentioned it
on IRC and came up with a couple of JOSM filters to weed them out and
ended up deleting over 2,000 of them around the lake.
Looking at them last night I
Alrighty then. Glad that's sorted out. I hope my deleting a couple
thousand of the nodes won't make reverting more difficult.
As a side note, I was using the USGS NAIP imagery to trace the lake
when I noticed these nodes. So on balance I don't think I'll hold it
against you :)

Nice to see they're trying. And it really is nice to see OSM getting
serious attention from the likes of microsoft. But silverlight = fail

I'm not really speaking for/against abbreviations in general, just
adding information. It would definitely be Pkwy and Blvd. The USPS has

According to the Key:source page on the wiki, an object can have
