We need to be careful about removing tags because it could cause renderers to fail (or at least not work as expected). For example, I think the is_in tag is added after the place name in mkgmap when creating the "city" POIs. Maybe the solution is to have a list of depreciated tags and maybe give people a year or two to stop using them before they get removed. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
