I don't have JOSM to hand (I do my mapping at home, and I'm at work), but I recall that some of its presets even have extra words to clarify the meaning of terms, so that 'sac_score', for instance, has a sentence quoted from the Wiki for each of the values. The maintainers of editors should probably do something like that for whatever term is chosen for RV, travel-trailer, caravan, ... because UK English doesn't even *have* all the terms, and the terms that it does have are understood differently in North America and Australia. Essentially, I don't think we're going to come up with anything better than 'do something arbitrary, and open tickets on the four or five most-widely-used editors asking their maintainers for help.' _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
