What harm could come from defining them? For example, I second them all (I need lot of beauty and cash shops in regions I'm maping). Yes, there propably someone somehwere in OSM would tag them differently, but these tags sound general enough to fit anyone's needs and there could be additional tags if needed some additional information. More and more I read list and wiki, more I convinced that: a) it is more or less proven that 'tag it and they will come' could work when there is isolated count of volunteers. With increase of them and huge increase of amount of data standartisation should be done ahead as much as possible. You b) Yes, we need another list and sort of team which stears and streamlines our tagging. I think most of us don't care if it is mega official or not. Just clear sane guidelines and tagging practice; Cheers, Peter. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
