The redundancy is what got me wondering what else the role could be used for, but I guess there are two parts of that. One is that it doesn't really need to be more complex and that it's probably fine if I leave the role part out. Should I use it on railways stations with subway_entrance and parkings? _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
