A change that breaks every editor / renderer / search & data user ? 6 months minimum before you change any data IMO. And that is a minimum if lots of people seem to think it is a good idea. Better yet - just don't change it. This sort of change just isn't worth the pain and hundreds of developer hours that could be better spent on moving the project forward. Yes - this sort of change might make the tag heirachy prettier - but not enough to justify the work. If you choose to use this new tag no-one will stop you - it won't work, render or do anything but no-one will stop you. The moment you start destroying other peoples work though you are a vandal. BTW - commenting on a message you just sent. amenity=ambulance_station will work for search automatically, emergency=ambulance_station won't because it isn't supported - lets hope that isn't important to any of the users who's data you just broke. -- Brian _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
