I have nothing against using this format, as long as we also incorporate things like multiple weeks, eg Su[1,3,5] 06:00-12:00 Or Su[1-2] 06:00-12:00 Although Tobias' point about this not being obvious human readable form still holds. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
