Kate, I totally agree and understand about tagging dispensary, either means not rendering. I thought the implication here was that, in other cases, we consider fudging the data a little bit for rendering. I was wondering this when I found medical facilites called dispensaries prior with US Defense mapping data. I feel like an idiot for not having asked sooner, because I was curious where the balance was.
Then again, I heavily agree with the outcry from the most hardcore developers and specialists on the list, that the data integrity is important, and specialty renderers can be developed and put online later if need be. Then again, I get the feeling I misunderstood a taxonomy discussion for a (more or less, not sure in this case) practical one.
