I think alt_name is more common than alt:name. For trivial differences such as apostrophes or capitalization it doesn't make any sense to add an alt_name, I feel. Anyone using the data - whether a computer program or a human - is quite able to ignore punctuation when comparing strings, and so the additional tags don't add any value. But they can be added as not:name for the purposes of this data check. >1) There is a proposal to mark apostrophe differences in a single >colour. I don't believe anyone suggested that; I thought of removing them altogether (in which case the single colour would be white!) but later accepted they might as well be cleaned up with the other stuff. -- Ed Avis <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
