IMHO tagging names on the single ways is even more vulnerable to breakage and bad data I know that relations aren't currently well supported (but they are better supported than they were, say, one year ago), and I know that right now it is better to duplicate the informations, but I hope that in the future editors will have better support for relations, and editing a relation won't be an "advanced user" feature as it is right now. -- Elena ``of Valhalla'' homepage: http://www.trueelena.org email: elena.valha...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
