I did not suggest to change the meaning. I was asking a question based on what I found in the wiki. The key maxspeed:source seems to be used the same as source:maxspeed according to taginfo. >> 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 > > 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. The key maxspeed:source is also used and it seems that it is used for the same. Simply because people get it "the wrong way around" sometimes, I guess. Me too, by the way.
