But there are already unambiguous tags to indicate legal status (designation= public_footpath) and others (not quite as black-and-white, but still good) to indicate whether you're 'allowed' (access=permissive etc). The primary tag must be what exists on the ground. There could be surfaced footways on a military base, for example, which nobody but authorized personnel may use; but still they would be highway=footway, with other tags indicating access. -- Ed Avis <e...@waniasset.com> _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
