Remolishing it, surely? For at least the second time :) Either way, object identity is fluid. I don't think OSM had a ledger record or a punchcard for it back then... But it does have current historical, archaeological, and possibly tourist-economic, interest. But where do we limit ourselves in what we represent in our simplistic tagging scheme? In think it suffices to state "this site has historical interest", (and archaeological, and tourism), and leave filling in the detailed timeline reaching back to 1443 to other databases. -- Andrew Chadwick _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
