I guess no one should tag a single feature with both power=* and railway=* since they are actually separated in reality. http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/167556124 is an error : is it an abandoned railway with power feeder remaining on landscape or a power line built on the abandoned railway ? We

let me sum this up: - loop=yes, a technical term in use and accepted by the pipeline industry ("loop configuration"), was "voted down" in favour of a more generic term, that can also be used in other areas (flow_direction=*). and also not to have one more tag. - mount=* was abandoned in favour o

I understand your points but not convinced at all. Railway guys did it right. For me, the best example is the location=* tag as mentioned before. It is actually used in many fields of knowledge, with different and maybe specific values for each. No namespace was introduced and all values shouldn'

Hm. I think the railway guys have a clearly defined list of possible values (there are 6 possible values in the wiki). This way software can process the data, because it is known which values are valid and which not. Checking this would be much more difficult (for data comsumers, but also for edito

Hi Lukas, I don't like this : railway guys introduced usage without any namespace. Why should power introduce one ? usage=* is a common tag. The proposal isn't introducing power:location instead of location=* even if there is some specific values. Do you agree ? *François Lacombe* fl dot infos

Maybe we could use a key with a namespace: “power:usage=*” or something else. Keeping is separate from the railway usage could give us more clairity. Lukas Sommer 2014-11-24 15:24 GMT+00:00 François Lacombe : > Hi Rainer and thank you. > > I didn't spend time yet on the update done on the Pipeli

Hi Rainer and thank you. I didn't spend time yet on the update done on the Pipeline proposal but be sure I will. What were the concern against network=* tag ? If they can be avoided with usage=* (or any common key) I'm ok to join you to use the same between power transmission and pipelines. Che
