I think removing it is fine for any changed way, for the reasons everyone else has mentioned. I oppose removing it for ways that are unchanged (which I understand is not the current proposal for JOSM; I'm just stating for the record). I still think it is valuable to leave ourselves any options for synchronization in the future. While an automated TIGER re-import isn't likely to happen, the tlid could be useful in the mystical grand conflation tools that people have proposed/discussed/drooled over. - Alan _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
