And sticking with the theme of "creating a general solution" rather than "maintaining kludgy tiger-specific hacks", maybe we could introduce a "derived_from=*" tag in OSM, which would list either 1) the way id a way was split from; 2) the way id(s) a way was combined from; or 3) the former way/node id of a way/node which was deleted and then recreated. This could mostly be implemented within the editor (at least 1 and 2), and would provide a much more general solution to a sticky problem in OSM which affects much more than just TIGER. _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
