LOL ! The issue with the 'oneway' key is that the key itself contains 'data' relating to the value. Oneway without a value would imply =yes whereas building without a value (or =yes) would give data independent of the value, IYSWIM building= hospital= The latter describes the building without the need for a value. I note your TIAL v CE above. Why do we need to know what the landuse is in any case ? -- Mike. @millomweb <https://sites.google.com/site/millomweb/index/introduction> - For all your info on Millom and South Copeland via *the area's premier website - * *currently unavailable due to ongoing harassment of me, my family, property & pets* T&Cs <https://sites.google.com/site/pmailkeey/e-mail>
