Andrew,
I like your idea about the XML file, it is definitely how it will have
to go, the idea is at the heart of the "Semantic Web" which is slowly
evolving.
Of course it shouldn't be just for accommodation, in fact virtually
every object that we tag currently should be pulling it's metadat

Hi,
The power transmission proposal is now ready for vote.
It opens now and will normally be closed November 1.

Here is a summery :
- It improves power lines tagging and prepares for power routing
introduction.

I made a proposal for tourism=apartment[1] so we have a place to refine the
meaning of this tag. I think the difference between apartment and
guest_house is not very clear, but I guess apartments are a bit bigger,
often have kitchens, and there are less of them in an apartment house then
there are
I've also modified the "Tag:tourism=guest_house" wiki and moved the
"tourism=bed_and_breakfast" to a subtag
"guest_house=bed_and_breakfast":

As a humble surveyor and editor I would ask that we have tourism=apartment at
the first level. An apartment is quite distinct from a hotel and a guest_house
and we already separate out these along with motel, hostel and chalet at this
level. The only debate for myself would be is at to whethe
