What is the essential difference between plot and lot in an OSM context? Dictionaries often seem to treat them as synonyms when applying to a "patch of land". But I'm a Brit... What's the US/AUS/CDN/NZ/etc view on this?

If you decide to only use it for alloments a sim! ple alloment:lot=yes would work as areas within landuse=alloment. Lots of alloments I know have fences between the single lots so be prepared to find lots of multipolygons as you would need one for each lot to proper define the ref=*. Note that the word under discussion is "plot", not "lot". _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging [2] Links: ------ [1] http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Tag:landuse%3Dplot#Comments [2] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
