Those are both sensible. Other options: fixme shows up on several OSM quality tools fixme=expected to reopen Sept 5, 2011 highway=construction construction=trunk highway=construction should remove the bridge from routers, etc. that don't understand barrier=block. But just as the gnb announcement is imperfect, and some folks will be surprised by the bridge closure, we can't always warn everybody about changes in our dataset. _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
