I think that it's worth mentioning that (based on a discussion on this list) the Xybot author has said that it doesn't do this any more. Some time (earlier this year I think) I complained (I think) that, among some other changes, a local landuse=wood (not mapped by me) had been changed to landuse=forest, when (a) landuse=wood is not "illegal" and (b) natural=wood was at the time also in the wiki. Since then landuse=wood has been added to the wiki as well. FWIW I did visit the trees in question and although it was originally a "wood" there's now some serious forestry operations going on there, so actually either would be about equally as valid. Your example was from 2008, which predates all of this. The number of "landuse=wood" combinations will be lower because of historical changes such as yours, but it won't be getting reset to zero every so often. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
