It's entirely possible I'm wrong here (since I'm not paying as close attention to this thread as others) but I believe the recommendations here are to add tags which correspond to local standards. Once that's done, other tags which may be more subjective can be added for simplicity, and the renderer can use either the exact tagging scheme that makes sense locally, or else it can use the more generalized (but less precise) tags. - Serge _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
