Or maybe there's a wiki page that lists some common equivalents? Even more basic, is it stated anywhere in the wiki that British English terms are to be used? I know that's the policy, but I All that I have seen are notes and warnings in various pages such as kerb. I think JOSM covers this issue with preset warnings, "tag is not in presets." *Note:* As a policy OSM uses British English <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_English> terms for most tags in preference to North American English <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_English>. In this case kerb rather than curb. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:kerb
