I feel that you are some years too late with this observation. Why not use maxspeed:source for the source and keep source:maxspeed for what it is used? There is really no point in arbitrarily changing tag meanings. At first glimpse maxspeed:type seems to need some unification effort (if uk mappers prefer to have another system than an "established" one), there are still quite a lot of variants: http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/maxspeed%3Atype#values > As in the UK examples in the wiki we (potentially) would get an > additional piece of information and would be more consistent. > maxspeed=50 -> what is the speed limit? > maxspeed:type=AT:urban -> what kind of speed limit is is? > source:maxspeed=survey -> how was the information regarding the speed > limit collected? yes, you could do it this way, but if you used maxspeed:source instead for how the information was collected you would not have to change the quarter million "source:maxspeed"-tags. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
