(from ceyockey) I am of the opinion that "addr:state" should only be used in the context of an address, not as a standalone synonym for "is_in:state", meaning that I support the use of "is_in:state" for routes. (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Ceyockey)
==ORIGINAL BELOW== From: Nathan Edgars II Subject: Why addr:state rather than is_in:state? Newsgroups: gmane.comp.gis.openstreetmap.tagging, gmane.comp.gis.openstreetmap.region.us Date: 2010-12-26 05:29:46 GMT (2 days, 17 hours and 26 minutes ago) Many route relations use addr:state to describe what state the route is in. Should a tag intended for addresses be used this way, or is is_in:state a better tag to use? _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
