Rather than long discussions about renaming or merging tags (e.g. drinkable, potable), perhaps we should accept that there will be things for which more than one tag name is in use, and decide on a format and a URL at which a synonym table can be stored, for renderers and other tools to use?
Perhaps we should use something "cleverer" such as JSON, but I'll start with a very simple suggestion: a text file in which each line represents a meaning, and the (space-delimited) words on the line are the synonymous tags. Or perhaps we could comma-delimit them, making it a CSV file, but I think we don't allow spaces in tags so that makes them naturally a delimiter. __John _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
