Just for clarity, I was really hoping to find an already-established tagging scheme for these features (named topological areas, valleys), and bringing up the schemes I found in several other places rather than trying to overcomplicate things. While I agree that rendering should follow tagging, I also go by the idea that as long as the scheme is consistent, one could switch to an improved one later quickly enough. Also, the people involved with rendering should have a pretty decent overview of how the tags are actually used, corner cases and the limitations involved. This is as important as tagging itself IMHO (I was rendering navteq data in the past, so I value a lot input from software implementations). I'm not sure if this list is followed by people involved with styling/rendering OSM data itself? (please tell me if some other list might be more appropriate). _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
