I object. An ID tag is highly useful for future reconciliation and/or synchronization later. And the "chicago:" namespace is, in my opinion, definitely the correct way to do it, because it clearly defines the scope of the id. The chicago:building_id should stay. Not including it is "dumping data" into OSM; including it is enabling collaborative use. - Alan _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
