Stuff like this could easily be handled in a more centralized system for tag metadata, see: http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/dev/2012-July/025284.html And direct link to this great presentation: http://www.frankieandshadow.com/sotm10/tagcentral.pdf Paweł _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
