I'm against liars writing in the wiki that they won't change any existing tags until their proposal is accepted. I agree that changing or deprecating existing tags is very hard in OSM, especially when the new tag is not a real improvement or reasoning behind. For instance, the "highway=gate" replaced by "barrier=*" or the "highway=ford" replaced by "highway=*" + "ford=yes" have been well accepted where "highway=bus_stop" by "public_transport=platform" is not. Trying to deprecate a tag is not "a minor issue". Pieren _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
