This has been discussed previously and it was decided that currently we would leave both as not all renderers and searches will work correctly on a way as opposed to a node. The recommendation is only if the item is not already there, not to go and delete items that have both already in place. The statement that you've ensured no tags were lost does not mean that the changes you have made are correct as an example the source tag for "Campbell Primary School" is now "data.australia.gov.au" where this was correct for the node but not for the way. I'd suggest we revert this change set and let those who have added the new or additional data make the decision on whether to remove the nodes. -- Cheers Ross _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
