I think if you want to constructively change tagging practise you need to discuss it on the tagging list and that the import I would like to do should follow established tagging. If anything `highway=bus_stop` is redundant data, however it's necessary for render compatibility (violating the "don't tag for the renderer rule", but everyone does it because default render still doesn't support PTv2 scheme). Until the wider OSM community establishes better methods of tag creation and deprecation these issues will continually crop up and (in my opinion) should not impede mapping progress. > _______________________________________________ > Talk-GB mailing list > Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb >
