I am not sure if introducing even more tagging variants really helps us to make this issue easier. If you want to tag some source I'd prefer to use the scheme source:access=value, but "law" doesn't anyway make much sense to me (there is always some law applicable, regardless of the access-situation, e.g. also signs are defined by law.) and "de:law" even less. Shouldn't that be "de:Gesetz"? Or "law:DE"? Then do we need the country in the tag? Will there be cases where German law would be applied outside Germany? How would you abbreviate a local "law" (e.g. from the municipality)? Otherwise a simple "law" would be sufficient to tag the applicable law for this kind of object (could also be international treaties, local law, ...). In the end it seems easier to stick a restricted set of a few well defined (and already used) values instead of introducing new confusion. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
