But how would you expect this to solve the current problem? Do you think it's just a matter of tweaking some wiki definitions? Also, with the above proposed definitions, why is there a need to use different top-level highway=* values just based on the surface? There's a tag for surface, and it's called surface=*. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
