+10 Please no censorship in this way. As the fire_hydrant has already an own tag it should be no problem to add some more information (like the wrench). Im my country, I find them not just on fire_hydrants, eg it might be worse thinking about a generell solution and not just for fire hydrants. wrench_type=* comes to my mind. cu fly _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
