Does the photo represent your notion of a lowered, ramp(ed), or dropped kerb? To me they're all functionally equivalent, meaning they are wheelchair accessible and have a slight (~3cm) abrupt change in height and/or a ramp/slope between surfaces of two different heights (typically a sidewalk and a street). 2) "raised" is not the same as "normal" (and normal might differ a lot > from place to place, I suggest to actually put the effective height) > I'd suggest reading the talk page, as I mentioned that the UK "raised" is equivalent to the US "normal". And adding heights are impractical for most people, though it is an option with kerb:height. Also if you read back in this list discussion (Thu, Jun 23, 2011 at 12:27 AM) I talked about how a single height is not sufficient to describe a kerb, but you must also consider the design (e.g. slope). That's why it's best to stick to functional definitions (i.e. wheelchair accessible). > 3) Units in osm are as specified, if omitted will often be interpreted as > meters > Sounds good to me. -Josh
