mentioned earlier already. the ref tag is taken by a standardization in osm worldwide. sure osm is free and everyone is allowed to change things but then don't expect to get any useful rendering anywhere. it doesn't matter if it's technically possible. if a different tagging is needed then introduce new tags or use a namespace like ref:"don't like the old tag and"=7 don't tag for a specific renderer and more important don't tag against all existing renderer > _______________________________________________ > Talk-us mailing list > Talk-us@openstreetmap.org > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
