No, no & no again. They should be convinced by rational argument that there's a better way to do it. I've had it done to me a few times since joining OSM.
I'm at a loss to understand how Narrow could be considered more accurate than an estimated difference. If users are so incompetent at judging distances then maybe they should never hve picked up a GPS in the first place. In theory, could the people who added ambiguous tags be emailed & asked to suggest an alternative? I emphasize the word 'theory'. cheers Dave F. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
