I have been using the prefix 'construction:' and 'proposed:' on tags to indicate that something is in the process of changing and there may also be a role for 'former:'. For example tags on part of the M25 which is being widened: lanes=3 construction:lanes=4 And on the A11 where one carriageway is being demoted to a minor two-way road: highway=trunk; oneway=yes; proposed:highway=unclassified proposed:oneway=no It would seem logical to include the status of 'former' elements in the same way. So a former station would be tagged using as follows: former:railway=station The lifecycle of a feature would then be. proposed:railway=station construction:railway=station railway=station former:railway=station Regards, Peter > > -- > Lester Caine - G8HFL > ----------------------------- > Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact > L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk > EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ > Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// > Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php > > > _______________________________________________ > Talk-GB mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb >
