Well, no and yes ;-) I was only talking about keys that have followed the "approval process" and got accepted. > According to Tagwatch - there are over 4300 keys in use in Europe alone, > each potentially with multiple values.

But out of those 4300 I guess we have at least : - a lot of typo errors - keys defined nowhere - keys rarely used - keys deprecated ( that would make a rough 90% I guess ) Those might have to be corrected in the DB or documented in the wiki > Perhaps Map Features should be for the main core tags only (for newbies > mainly - the basics of how to get their road/feature displayed).

This has been discussed earlier, and I definetly think we have no choice but this one. The question then is "what are core features" To my point of view, maybe something like 50% of map features keys should be move to "secondary pages", just like sac_scale, trail_visibility for hiking and piste:* for skiing are. And other still on map features should be moved to secondary zone like : sport= power= shop= military= *=disued tracktype= smoothness= while keeping a "thematic link" But I am not the one to decide, so maybe we should start some pages about "what are not core features" -- sly sylvain letuffe _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
