You can make a proposal, leave it in proposal state and just start tagging, without any vote. If it is a good proposal other users will use it and it will get accepted without any vote. The big advantage is that the discussion can be longer than just a few weeks, with possibility to still change the proposal and you will get examples to demonstrate and maybe also find some problems. cu fly _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
