You, speclists, know better than me. The issue is that there are people mapping at all levels of precision. If all you are interested in is whether or not there is a shoulder, you map that, but others might want more information, and we want to keep their edits in line with each other too. For those the complicated schemes are made, but there is nothing to force you to do the same. There are tens of things that you can put on a road. Does that make it complicated? Perhaps. But nobody is forcing you to use them all, or even a significant subset of them. If you are not interested in mapping something, then you don't. But when you are interested in doing it, it's better that you do it the same way as others who do. That's why we get to complicated schemes - there will always be people who *do* want to add that information, and in that case, we'd rather do it consistently. -- André Engels, andreeng...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
