why is this an issue? i would assume the link has to appear whenever some of their data is displayed on screen? setting a tag to some value, that then triggers a link to display at bottom-right should not be too much of an issue. or is it some non-technical issue? i ask, because this may crop up for some data sources being investigated in nz. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
