Please tag it is as place=Barangay. It isn't pragmatic but the current solution is only convenient. You loose a lot if you don't allow local languages. It almost works in anglofied countries, but it's not optimal, by longshot. It would be very easy to tag roads in Sweden if I could say: "väg=riksväg". Instead of using an UK created system of tagging. Take things like place=Hamlet it is just a sea of troubles, really. And perhaps opposing it with tags like barangay, we would end them. But I can dream about it. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
