Definitely a step in the right direction, i.e. separating "legal status" from "defacto status". I'd be tempted to also use bicycle:signed=yes/no to clarify when the (legal?) status is derived from evidence on the ground as opposed to a law book. By the way, it's a pity that "designation" (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:designation) sounds so much like "designated" (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:access%3Ddesignated)... _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
