Earlier today browsing Pascal Neis summary of changesets
This is new to me. Is there a way find all changesets with my locale?
The disadvantages, at least to my mind, are:
* Non-intuitive. Certainly I have never thought of mapping pubs this
way, although I can see the point. I doubt that a newcomer to OSM
would find this the straightforwardly obvious approach.
Discovering many new things are often "Non-intuitive" & doesn't
necessarily make them wrong. Given time to sink in they often become
'normal'
* Pubs are licensed premises. The premises licensed usually relate
to the building.
If that were true then wouldn't the beer garden need a separate license?
* Where do we place tags associated with the pub premises which may
apply also to other parts of the pub property (an obvious one
would be opening_hours).
I'm unsure how common that would be, but it could go on the boundary as
the garden might be used for each instance.
* Peculiar rendering. In this case a pub icon in a car park. Even if
we fully accept "not tagging for the renderer", let's consider how
we can tell renderers to improve icon placement. Andy suggested on
IRC a label node, but this implies a relation: do we want to
replace a simple node &/or area tag with a node, an area & a
relation? And then ask the Carto-CSS team to deal with it? It
seems to me that this pushes the bar too high not just for
inexperienced mappers but also those of us who have been at it for
a while. In the meantime the CartoCSS rendering will look rather
daft in such cases.
A location tag was discussed a few years ago, unsure why it didn't catch
on. It wouldn't need to be a relation, just a sub-tag of co-ordinates on
the boundary way. It wouldn't be compulsory, if the co-ords weren't
supplied, it would render centrally as it does now. All polygon
entities, such as schools, hospitals etc. render centrally in precisely
the same manner. In OSM things are only difficult to do if their not
explained clearly. Good wiki descriptions are essential.
* Consistency. In general pubs will get mapped initially as nodes
over the pub building, and attributes on a node easily transfer to
a building outline + (usually) building=pub. In particular the
node & area centroid will tend to be very close. Thus the two
different ways of mapping relate to each other in a clear way.
As has been pointed out by others, mapping pubs this way will make it
consistent with the tagging of other objects.
landuse=retail shouldn't be used for individual properties. It also
doesn't link the entities together.
I don't see the centroid of the area being offset from the building as a
problem for postcode location or routing.
IMO places of worship should also have an boundary tag to encompass all
ancillary objects operated by the organisation, but that's for another
discussion
