that's fine. John also cares for importance but thinks that this importance (also relative importance) is based on facts. When mapping these facts you can render all kind of maps, also generic ones. You won't have to evaluate all criteria, you could simply decide that one of them is the most important one and look just at this. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
