Very likely it's the database number in the source database. This is Yet Another import from a database being maintained by someone else. This is why we need a "closedstreetmap.org", which publishes, in OSM format using the OSM API, data which cannot be sensibly edited. > If not needed this tags are, I hope they will be removed and not imported. Why? Does it make sense to remove something which can be useful to someone else? Remember: it's not important (AT ALL) that everyone use tag X to map feature Y. It *is* very important that everyone who uses tag X, use it to map feature Y. It seems as if you think that feature Y should always be mapped using tag X, and that if tag X does not correspond to a physical characteristic of feature Y, it should be removed. I don't think you will find much agreement on that. -- --my blog is at http://blog.russnelson.com Crynwr supports open source software 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315-600-8815 Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | Sheepdog _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
