Other applications already have their own translation tables if they are taking OSM data. I was just looking at osm2navit recently for this very issue, because nodes marked as amenity=school were rendering, but areas were not. It will be the same with all the rest of the other software. I think cleaning up the categorization is a good idea, but this isn't a good justification for it. - Alan _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
