The US but is redundant, we just need to know what shield type, not where it is located since there is a country polygon that already points this out. If there is special shields needed on a per state or per county basis they need to be dealt with in other ways, just like they should be on a per country basis, you shouldn't have to add this information to ways otherwise we might as well tag every single node, way, area etc with is_in tags too, again is_in is redundant because we can derive this information easily by other means. > network is useful for routing applications too and should be used as signed > in reality. > If we need a tag for mapnik rendering call it mapnik:<something> or > shildsymbolizersomething .... If you need to tag for mapnik, mapnik is broken and needs to be fixed you should never need to tag for it. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
