I wonder if we could / should have as a goal the accurate representation of what the sign says (duplicating the syntax of the sign)? Or whether we should make sure that we have the semantics right and can thus present map users what the sign *should* say, in a clear and consistent manner (which St. Catherine St. kinda doesn't do). If the former, then it matters if it's Business-80 or 80-Business. If the latter, then as long as we preserve the modifier, then we're good. -- --my blog is at http://blog.russnelson.com Crynwr supports open source software 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315-600-8815 Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | Sheepdog _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
