On OHM these objects need to co-exist ... if OSM is going to create yet another version of the historic object if recovering from the change log we are going to get into even more of a mess. This is why 'delete' *IS* the wrong concept for objects that CAN be authenticated historically. The whole problem here is that objects like railways are going to evolve over time, and while some elements may no longer be visible, maintaining the sequence IS important even if some people think that there is no place for that information is OSM. I repeat what I have said many times before ... we are documenting that very history today, ad while the information is available from the change log, it ALSO needs to be directly accessible from the OHM view so why not simply maintain that information in a format that the CURRENT rendering tools can show and the current editing tolls can improve on. The change log is simply the wrong place for this data to exist in ... -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
