Reading the whole thread up to that mail, it seems like that was a unilateral decision made by Richard. Can we *please* revert it, and discuss it also _here_? It's a change of some relevance, it's not one of those discussions whether something is amenity=cafe or amenity=bar. Personally, I agree with http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg02655.html , and I've always mapped like that. The change mad^Wproposed doesn't have a solid base, it seems done just to make the renderer happy. While point 2) in Richard's mail seems the correct solution to me. Also, in http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg02634.html , Richard says "I think the wiki may be wrong" and he changed it because: "This is most likely to avoid the situation where you get an ugly join between ways.". Then again, "I've adopted the OS convention (everything to the lower level) locally, because it renders better.". This is mapping for the rendering. You all know our mantra, right? I'm personally very upset by this wiki hija^Wedit, it just confuses people (as seen on talk-it@, which lead me to start this thread here), and hasn't been properly discussed with the community before. Richard, please don't take this as a personal attack :). I'm just against mapping for the renderer, and your change is both poorly reasoned and a bit "impractical" to fix (one should write a both analyzing all *_link and checking what streets they connect to.. I have headaches only thinking at the code it would require) Kindly, David -- . ''`.
