Yes, infer, like we do with every other tag. People realised they didn't need to tag "bicycle=yes;horse=yes;car=yes" on every road about five minutes after OSM started. You can still find some of those ways around if you look hard enough. ;) > I do wonder why people are always jumping on the corner cases to > discredit smoothness=*. It's not about corner cases. It's about usability. Remembering what very_horrible means, or absolutely_smashing, or aaaahhr_you're_my_best_mate_I_feckin_love_you_I_do, is just impossible. It's like tracktype all over again, just with silly names. cheers Richard -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Edit-war-on-the-wiki-%22map-features%22-tp20683909p20769596.html Sent from the OpenStreetMap - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
