The post_box:type seems to mix up completely different things. Most of the values are about the anchor of the post box - whether it's mounted to a wall, a lamp etc. But then there's also the "meter" type, which seems to be about something entirely different: the type of mail that the box is for. I suggest a more generic approach for the mounting/anchor information - a key like this could be used for lots of different features, such as post boxes, clocks, waste bins or vending machines. Specifically, I suggest to use the "support" key that has originally been defined for clocks: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dclock#Support Tobias Knerr _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
