Well, I mentioned it some weeks before. I didn’t want to write anything again, because this should have been just a running-up thread for the bug tracker. > Why not? E.g. openstreetmap.de has it's own rendering style. Because what should be the advantage over one page for everything? I admit, in order to use different languages, this used to be necessary (more or less). But with the multilingual map, this problem is hopefully solved in the future. With different websites, we rather have the problem that the user has to know every single different page. Imagine if a German person would like to see the map of Russia? Should he then first search for the Russian OSM page? Why not just use one map for everything?

For example, if we have crossroad names only in Japan and Korea, would it not be possible to limit these changes only to these countries? So that the other countries’ stylesheets are not even affected? Then it would be possible to “play a little bit around” in one country, without affecting the entire OSM page. This would not only be relevant for my issue here. Imagine that in one country, one type of shop would be so ubiquitous that it needed to be supported. In another country, that kind of shop is non-existant or not really relevant. Or again concerning the crossroads: in Japan, they are usually displayed with a rectangle around the name. In Korea, this may be different (not sure about that, though). If we only have one stylesheet for the whole world, this would inevitably cause problems or create some kind of substandard “average”, where nobody is really content with. Of course, this is a software issue, but maybe for some future version: If these stylesheets could be customized according to region, it would speed up changes and be more suitable for individual regions. Then the Japanese mailing list would have the responsibility about “their country”. By the way, I did not know that the original stylesheet is so impossible to change. I rather though that it would be relatively easy in a way like “if node has property x and y, do this“, not even with programming skills involved. Sorry everyone, this was my mistake. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
