Uh, what? 34 votes is one of the largest votes of any proposed/approved feature on the wiki. > say there is zero chance of most people switching from the tags that > have been in use for several years to some new scheme that, as I > understand it, requires about five tags for each path. Then I think you misunderstand it. Take a look at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Tag:highway%3Dpath/Examples -- most require two tags at most. The only one which reaches five additional tags is the last one. Which doesn't fit into the bridleway/cycleway/footway paradigm anyway, and is one of the most complex examples to be found. You don't like highway=path, fine. If your tagging needs are met by bridleway/cycleway/footway, then I'm glad for you. But it's not adequate for all situations. Don't make up bullshit just to trash-talk that which you don't understand. -Alex Mauer "hawke" _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
