I use a similar feature in JOSM to show me unnamed streets to know which ones still need to be named, I think potlatch has a similar feature and if all three things used the same mechanism to remove warnings about streets that have no name is it still tagging for a single renderer? > arguments or alternative actions, such as building your own nonames > layer that takes the noname=yes tag into account.

Except the merit most of the time isn't examined if the status quo is likely to be effected. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
