We'll have to agree to disagree then, because tagging them as just another survey marker is a reduction of information to lowest common denominator. I would have thought you of all people would have wanted more granular information especially when have stated in the past how tagging the width of a way isn't good enough to map the road accurately. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
