Technically they aren't errors, just inconsistent data that isn't useful for anything unless someone cleans it up first, which takes a lot more effort that could have been avoided in the first place with a little planning. That's assuming you don't get people using the same/similar tags to mean different things of course, in which case you would have to manually clean up the data since a computer most likely wouldn't understand the context nor how to express it to a human. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
