Why should one editor be held to higher standards than others? Shouldn't they all be held to the same standard?
As someone who still fights to keep potlatch2 working locally then yes all options should be judged to the same standard, and there are defaults on all editors that simply don't work or contradict what another editor 'defaults' to providing. Invariably I end up on 'advanced' so I can override choices given even in potlatch2.
The 'standard' should be the current tagging guidelines and NOTHING should prevent an editor from adding changes that ARE still evolving. lifeguard facilities are a good example of the sort of additional detail that is still developing. So being able to add that detail is important even if it needs manual assistance. NO editor should enforce it's own restricted view of tagging here.
I'm still of the opinion that what I will call 'primary' keys should be more regulated, and that the API provides the standard for key elements like highway and building. highway=platform is a key element of my view of the data and simply extracting 'highway' should give all of the key material for moving around the world ... along with waterway although in my mind navigable 'waterway' elements are simply highway as well along with railway. So fragmenting all these across other 'new' detail tags is simply wrong in my higher level view of the data. Pedestrian areas linking between road, rail and water transport DO need a little more consistent tagging as it is not at all easy currently to decide just what IS a correct set of tags to cover all pedestrian areas? It should not depend on which editor was used to create the data :(
