I was just explaining how it made sense, that is it's not written english, but more akin to a programming language with key words and limited syntax. > No. There are probably more OSMers that know basic English than OSMers that > know basic German. And we all know where the hyphen key is. You are assuming most people don't simply use presets, in which case the language is unimportant and as time passes there will be increasing separation between the raw xml and what the user sees and uses, for numerous reasons, language will be one of them as there will be translations made for the users but the underlying xml will be primarily in english-esk, rather than proper english or any other language for that matter. > Anyway, whatever, if you want to make it drive_through, go ahead. I was commenting on making things consistent, there is a lot of existing examples of using underscores. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
