There are no permanent objects in OSM, some just last longer than others. > So is the permanent object the node? Is the permanent object the POI? > What if the POI moves?

That ended up the point of this thread, figuring a method to tag any object, doesn't matter if it's a node or a way or an area or a relation, and have a way to refer to that object, even if that object changes from being a node to being an area. The actual object is less important, in this context, than the unique ID number keeping tracking of it. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
