As I mentioned earlier, I am founder and main contributor to the unified_stoparea proposal. Well, I actually _do_ feel a little offended by two things. - First: I am confused at how little reference to "my" proposal I find in the new scheme. It's not that I am vain or anything, but you copied about anything from that proposal and just gave some items new names. I wonder if you read it and really copied most of it, in which case I would have expected some note about it, or if you came up with that on your own, but than this would show bad research (but still means we both came independently to the same solution(s)). - Second: I tried to rally for a coherent PT-tagging scheme for weeks without end in the beginning of the year (mainly the german list, but also here) with disappointingly little feedback. I wished you (Jochen and his group) would have participated in the process back then. It would have saved me a lot of work and a lot of people that started to use the unified_stoparea-proposal to eventually re-tag all of their work. That said: I really _am_ happy that there is some progress in this field. As you guys have a group (and the geofabrik) behind you, its much more likely to succeed and become wide spread. And I am very interested to have a unified tagging scheme, whatever name it bears.
