This is what we call "tagging for the renderers" = abusing a tag in a way it is not describing what it is defined for, just because this renders a nice picture. If you need another place-tag, that is not documented here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Place (e.g. place=block / sector or whatever), you "invent" it. You can use all tags you like, but it is recommended for features of which you think that they are valuable for other users as well, to document them in the wiki (and maybe send a note to the mailing lists). Usually you would make a "proposal". cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
