Also, didn't I read somewhere that it was okay to use terms that only have local relevance? Are there any policy/guideline documents behind tagging that I should read? As I've commented before, it makes no sense to me at all that the choice of what tags to use has so many different sources: wiki, tagwatch/osmdoc/..., potlatch/josm/merkaartor/..., mapnik/osmrender/... Surely it's time to get a little more organised about this. Steve
