Except they are tagging what they see with street address information, you don't see what you are suggesting any where, this is meta information and belongs as such. > "S" and "I" are so lacking context as to approach line-noise. > "us_ny_ny_co" even hints at the right answer, without reading the > docs. fine, tag it network=interstate_shield, network=state_shield, network=county_shield, but tagging network=us_ny_ny_co is tagging for the renderer, you won't ever ever find that on a sign, and it's not verifiable, if I go to ny county, ny, us I won't know the difference to the adjcent county etc, we're not supposed to embed symbol information for the renderer and this is exactly what you are suggesting we do. > I agree that failover to the UK style shield is better than nothing. It's what already exists, I fail to see why this should be an issue. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
