I have no problem with using a FIXME. But performing even a "subjective classification" still requires criteria as to how to make that classification. I.e. it is steep if ______. If you want to define steep by saying, on the wiki, "incline=*_steep means the mapper personally thought the incline was steep", go ahead - but IMHO that's not a good definition. >> What I mean to say is, unless you can think of a better way to tag >> incline=* on nodes, we should encourage the use of incline=* for this >> purpose (as opposed to some other tag like inclination=* or >> steepness=*, or node_incline=* etc., which would just be silly). > > I would say all the incline tags should be moved to the ways. As Anthony said, this isn't equivalent, unless it's moved to a new way with infinitesimal length. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
