I'm not Paul, but I can give you my view: As far as I know, we don't have a policy on which tags to include in the rendering, and there is currently no consensus within the development team on what the best policy would be. Personally I'm trying to steer towards requiring an accepted proposal plus documentation on the wiki before rendering a new tag, but I know not all of the developers share this point of view. Currently, proposals for newly rendered tags are currently discussed on a case by case base. > How does the fact that it may be useful to specific groups, ie, cyclists > which has its own style impact your decisions? Objects aimed at specific user groups are less likely to be rendered, and if they are rendered they will appear at higher zoomlevels. For example, we don't render fire hydrants because they are of little interest to the general public. -- Matthijs _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
