It would be more logical to have the date construction started be start_date, and the date construction completed be completed_date. Having the completion date tagged as start_date doesn't make sense.

Cologne Cathedral deserves more dating richness than start_date=1880 and, following the current wiki spec, the Sagada Familia won't be allowed a start_date tag until around 2050. - L > _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
