Hi all, Thank you all for all feedback. I will take this back to the project. Just something I'd like to clarify: many of you seem to assume this introduces a new tagging paradigm. The opposite is true: the proposal uses a tagging scheme that is already used in about 90 percent of the countries, and the retagging request only concerns the exceptions. You might or might not agree with this tagging scheme, but it is the way things are currently done in most countries. I would also like to point out that other data consumers do rely on the presence of admin_level on boundary ways too. For example, https://www.öpnvkarte.de and https://korona.geog.uni-heidelberg.de/ already rely on admin_level tagging on boundaries (and thus do not display internal admin boundaries in Poland). There might be more of them. Anyway, as I said, I will take this back to the project and will let you know if there is news. — Matthijs _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
