I'd say: if the name is Waterloo Station, set "name=Waterloo Station", if it's waterloo, set "name=Waterloo". Easy like that. Looking at this: http://synecdoche.liquidflare.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/img_1953s.jpg I'd suggest to keep "name=Waterloo Station" cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
