The description tag is my baby and I'd like to see it widely used. I'd be happy to see an anything-goes-policy here, I think this would be a place where a human touch does not hurt. It is difficult to divide opinion from "qualitative assessment" in just a few free form words. BTW, I've also been experimenting with name spacing on the description tag to tighten up relevancy. For example description:bicycle= to target particular map users or description:history for specific categories of information. A description:opinion could be the way to go. Just my personal opinion, also interested to see what other folks think, Mike _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
