OK, but is the voting of a bunch of people on a wiki proposal sufficient to ensure that all amenity=parking by then were surface parkings? Introducing defaults afterwards is a fail in any case - as long as you don't check all entities which are in the map and make sure every mapper by then gets knowledge of the newly introduced default. > So imo at least this default should be put back onto the page.

Btw.: Personally I'd also consider parking=surface a reasonable default fallback for the case of a missing parking key (but I do enter parking=surface on the map for surface parkings, because it is unambigous, and I won't encourage people to omit this - what basically happens if you write "defaults" into the wiki). So, +1 to the suggestion to abolish this default. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
