no. Because it is 5 Steps for features that are new, that is, nobody ever documented or even used. Usually you will have 1 step: mapfeatures. E.g. a motorway: you got there, take the key, read about useful combinations, and map. In case that you have to invent a new key, it is obvious that more work is involved, in order to make it good. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
