Control cities for highway destination signs are only important on maps for which control cities on highway destination signs are important. Tagging Valdosta as control_city=yes might make sense, but tagging it as prominent=yes does not. Just as tagging Athens, GA as 80s_band_origin_city=yes might make sense, but tagging it as prominent=yes does not. Even if you are making a Cities of the 80s Bands Map. So don't promote Valdosta based on one aspect of the nature of Valdosta. Tell OSM about the nature of Valdosta then render it based on the aspects that are important for your audience. Not everybody cares about my band map. Or your highway control cities. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
