So the utility_wires tag adds *more* information than *no* information. I do of course realize this is less detail than tagging each pole, lamp stand and bird nest. -- That said, the two schemes don't seem particularly incompatible either. The utility undergrounding information, even just on a road by road basis, is important in terms of emergency services and after huge storms. In California where I live communities vie for conversion to underground utilities for these reasons among others. ------------------------------------------------------- The rendering folks need fairly simple rules to go by.
