The problem with having a way's direction imply anything is that there's no option for a mapper to *not* specify a direction. How would we distinguish between a way which is pointing in a particular direction to indicate pipeline flow, and a way which was put down arbitrarily because the mapper didn't know the correct direction, wasn't aware of the rule, or the rule didn't exist at the time? Any tagging scheme really needs to have a default "not specified" option. - Matt _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
