Your are also maybe one of the "is_in" tag supporters because, hey, how can a simple tool find if an element is inside a polygone or not. Asking people to put on all roads the ten or twenty attributs making everyone happy like maxpeed, minspeed, averagespeed, recommended_speed, blind_in_one_eye_drivers_speed, width, noexit, maxheight is simply unrealistic, makes perhaps some lazy developers happy but is definitely not making mapping easy. Let the software do the boring and repetitive work for humans and not the opposite. Pieren
