Inthe case of hgv, it's the vehicle that is heavy, not the goods. So heavy_goods is a really bad fit imho. I'm also not a fan ofnthe concept of a "shortened expansion". HOV is new to me, but psv and hgv (abbreviated or not) are legally-defined terms. If you take one word away from it, it's not the same concept anymore (defined by the layman intead of by the lawmaker). As for the idea of expanding those abbreviations, I don't care that much. Many roadsigns litterally say "hgv", and you'll force routing software to pick up another value. Not sure it's wprth the increased readability. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
