I did that, because of 2 reasons: 1) there is a number of users who think that surface gets more and more complicate to evaluate due to the level of detail. They say (and it is IMHO true for some usecases) that surface=paved/unpaved is sufficient. 2) suggestions on the mailing list to tag surface and/or paved. > geez, that really should go away. surface= already serves > the purpose, and is a lot more flexible. The flexibility of surface is also a problem: the more different values are inserted, the more complicated it gets. I do agree that tagging detailed surface information is valuable, but I'd really like to see an alternative way to tag simple surface values as well. Tagging surface=paved/unpaved doesn't solve this, because the next user will change this to detailed surface values (I do this myself, as paved/unpaved is not sufficient in many cases). cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
