Okay, so you'd be wrong too. > The ref tags on ways, if nothing else, provide a level of redundancy. The fact that they provide redundancy is one of the things that's wrong with them. > It's too easy to accidentally break a relation; Agreed. And until that gets fixed, we should at least be able to see on the map when such breakage occurs. Hiding the breakage helps no one. And if relations break more than ref tags on ways, then renderers are going to use the ref tags on ways, which means they're never going to get it right.

Oh, wait, it’s not. No, it's a step toward fixing the current mess. > In what strange alternate universe do you live where deleting valid > information which is stored following the current documented system, is not > vandalism? First of all, the ref tags aren't valid. The numbers are references of *routes*, not of *ways*. Secondly, they are redundant. In what strange alternative universe do you live in where deleting redundant information is vandalism? _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
