No we need a committee to decide upon a core set of values that people should use where possible instead of naming the same "thing" 10 different ways, the argument over boolean values just highlights the point. For example, a ford in Australia is a causeway, yet they are the same thing, just known by different people as different names. If we take a programming language as an example, we usually don't have duplicate function names to do the same thing, except PHP seems to break this rule. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
