Yes: Don't use loc_name (or any other key that contains "name") for
this. It's not a name. It's a description.
Yes - I'd agree that that sounds to me like a description rather than a
name (unless the path actually has a name of some sort of course).
However, in areas where there are many paths that could be ued to go
from one place to another, I can see that it would be useful to know a
suggested one to take (based on someone who's been there before, rather
than a routing engine which only knows about distance and maybe elevation).
There have probably been 1001 wiki proposals for how to record stuff
like this, so I've got two questions:
o Which proposals* are in use, widespread or otherwise?
o What information would it be useful to know about e.g. a footpath in
the woods from A to B?
(followups possibly better suited to the tagging list; cc:ed)
Cheers,
Andy

far too nice to stay indoors.
