We get "let's reorganize the tags" threads here bimonthly with the results you can plainly see. Personally I think it's better to build some sort of system on top of the key-value tag system that provides metadata about what tags mean, that two different tags are actually the same thing (like local spelling differences) and so on. So far we only have the non-machine readable wiki for that purpose and things like the JOSM presets. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
