(Still, the point is to provide useful data. I took some time to check around the OSM policies and FAQ and stuff and it says that OSM is a database about geographical facts [I do not avoid this word and I consider my/our judgement a good base for factuality] for many known and any possible yet unknown purposes in which it would turned to be useful.) > There may be examples in use, but that doesn't make it right.

Now you say that it does indeed contain such tags but I don't have the right to do the same anyway so I should drop the subject. :-) No, I do not have any rights to any discussion, whatsoever, as neither have anyone, and obviously I have the right to use whatever tag I please. Discussions are usually to help people to make informed decisions. Unfortunately your input not really added much new information to the subject, apart from repeating others and commanding me. No offense. I tend to agree though that rendering-wise this tag doesn't work, and I'm not sure where to proceed; creating separate amenity=illegal_waste_dump and such doesn't feels nice. -- byte-byte, grin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
