Why shouldn't importance not be defined? It is pointing out that it's about hierarchy: (A is more important than B, B is more or less equally important than C, ....). You try to create a hierarchy of the street grid that works starting from the upper end and from the lower end. It surely also has to do with "size / connectivity / capacity", but this to compare nearby (and countrywide) alternatives, not on an absolute scale. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
