Easy: Use "ref=" tag. Anything before final non-alphanumeric is the network, and anything after is what is put in the shield. I proposed this a few weeks ago and no one has provided a counter example that doesn't work with this simple method. Examples: ref= network identifier US:I-15 US:I 15 US:US 89 US:US 89 US:UT:SR-67 US:UT:SR 67 US:NH:3A US:NH 3A US:MI:M-6 US:MI:M 6 UK:A A4 UK:A A4 If you object to having all of this in one tag, put the identifier in the "ref=" tag and the network in "highway:network=" tag. Simple for people to enter. Simple for computers to parse. - Val - _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
