I was mostly interested in what "tagging scheme" people have come up with on their own, in absence of wiki/tagging list guidance. These tags were spread across Europe (and some smattering elsewhere in the world) so it's unlikely to be a single editor or an import driving this. "Folksonomy" was a term for this a while back. I agree that oneway:foot=no is a redundant tag in vast majority of cases. However it is illustrative of how people reason about this property and what tag name feels natural to them. --Jarek _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
