(E.g. Abbots Way, supplied=BR3 3, nearest=CR0 7TX, journey planner uses BR3 3SF.) >Once you're removing things from parentheses, I think it's going a bit too far >into the territory of trying to paper up a broken dataset. Perhaps you're right. I'm not suggesting that you change the data before the user sees it, only that the test for whether to display a blue dot or a green dot should ignore the parenthesized stuff. >I'm really not sure about the not:name protocol - the more I see it the more I >think it's not the right thing to do. An alternative would be to maintain a cleaned-up data set, perhaps as a table on the OSM wiki, where errors can be noted. Then we can report them to the London datastore people as a big batch. The musical allotments page could even fetch the wiki page and turn the HTML table back into CSV data for use. -- Ed Avis <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
