Could you please highlight what's new and what's just "the context"? This makes it easier to decided what the voters vote on and it will be clear to future readers what was voted on and what was just explanation. Yes, it might sound like writing something formal but people will quote this proposal in future saying "community accepted this proposal". > Also it would be a handy guide for software authors that want to make > use of our data.

If you propose a wiki page which should serve as a handy guide for software authors, you could just write it, mark it as draft and ask for comments on this mailing list if you are not sure or. If the there are different opinions, you could summarize them. I still don't see any need to use proposal process. > And I think, subway mapping is exactly the case where stop_area_group > relations are useful.
