I’m of half a mind to use a script to find the edits in my area where they changed something like “left|none|none|” to “left||” and then revert them manually.
I know they are both officially acceptable variations but for those of us editing by hand counting the occurrences of “|none” to make sure the lane count is correct and matches what is on the ground is harder than counting the “|” occurrences. At least it is for me and I’ve had decades of practice counting open and close parens to make sure compilers wouldn’t squawk at me because they weren’t balanced. And while I haven’t seen a “none;slight_right”, it looks syntacticly correct and I can imagine cases where it might be used and would defer to the local mapper who used it. (The ones in my area are much more likely to be “through;slight_right”.) > On Aug 24, 2016, at 4:52 PM, Jack Burke <[email protected]> wrote: > > No, it's https://github.com/mapbox/mapping/issues/193 > <https://github.com/mapbox/mapping/issues/193> > > And they appear to be telling me that the combination "none;slight_right" > isn't valid. > > Also, in their reply to me, they do specifically mention that they know none > is valid, yet they're replacing it anyway.
