Hi Dave
Won't the first node of the named way that's most upstream indicate its
start point by default?
What advantages will adding a specific 'it starts here' tag bring?
Cheers

I'm wondering if it's possible to tag in some meaningful way, the
place, usually a node, where a river begins. It seems this would be of
interest to people besides myself but I don't think there is currently
a way to tag such a place.
Using as an example, the beginning of a major Alaskan river, the
Colville. It begins at the confluence of two smaller streams, Thunder
Creek and Storm Creek, in the North Slope Borough, literally in the
middle of nowhere. I've searched for the Colville River many times for
various reasons and today as I was extending it to its source, the
question of how its actual beginning place might be tagged arose.
By the way, you won't probably find either of those tributaries if you
search Nominatum just yet because I added them only a few minutes ago.
Opinions, feedback?
Cheers,
Dave
