+1 to all this > So, whoever really wants to introduce this distinction is going to > have to find another way, perhaps "surface=cobblestone, > cobblestone=sett". not so sure about this. Currently there is really a lot of values in surface but (as far as I know) none of them gets subtagged. Instead of subtagging we could also keep cobblestone for "sett" and invent another value for old cobblestones, could be something dumb like real_cobblestone, real_cobbles, round_cobbles, round_cobblestone, old_cobblestone or similar. We would subsequently change the tags for the (probably few) surface=cobblestone which are actually old_cobbles and done. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
