While that is a correct statement it also applies to nodes and tags and does not add any additional information to what is already stated in the text before, namely: > At the core, "verifiability" is that everything you do can be demonstrated to be true or false What would be useful additional information on the verifiability of geometries is the distinction between the ability to verifiably localize something and the ability to precisely measure its location. However i am kind of inclined to agree not to overburden the explanation of the basic concept of verifiability with that much detail. And of course the suggestion that proper and precise documentation helps applies to recording of geometries as well - not only to tags. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
