I think, we, as validation tools developpers/maintainer, have a risponsability on the usage of users that we should handle with care. The fact that maplint, or even my validator tool, makes use of several different tags for the same purpose will inevitably lead to confusion into the DB (and users mind) : Having different tags for the same meaning is IMHO a "very" bad idea For instance, the fact that maplint supports noname=yes and the validation: namespace and maybe one day the internal: namespace I've proposed is bad. The more is not the best. My proposition stated that "we have to agree on a common sets of tags" because that is imho the way to go. wether it be internal: or validation: or serveral different tags, I don't care providing that they are well documented and not duplicates of others. And I would prefere that they drop out of discussion instead of being created "in the wild" and then show their bad aspects too late after many have used them. are there anywhere I didn't found where validation: is documented ? -- Sylvain Letuffe [EMAIL PROTECTED] qui suis-je : http://slyserv.dyndns.org _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
