Hi, I had to tag several parking lots closed on times such as Fr 14:00-22:00 when the market took place there. I raised a convoluted discussion: everyone had a different opinion about that tagging, plus strange comments (*). After more than 10 hours spent in research and collaboration, I had to conclude with the inability of the Key:Opening_hours specification to express that timing, or explain it, at least simply. I finally used a vary straightforward and clear: closing-hours=Fr 14:00-22:00 and I suggest that you use it too and that you add that key to the specification. It can be clearly explained, once won't hurt, as follows: As often funnily put, closing-hours is the same as opening-hours except that it is exactly the opposite :-) Seriously: use closing-hours with the same rules as opening-hours and invert the result: opening time becomes closing time and conversely. It couldn't be more simple, obvious and understandable. Quite the opposite of that story. May this be helpful, Cheers,
(*) I read very strange statements such as: "off" must not be defined, it must be grasped. "off" is not used. "off" is used, but not like that. xxx, must not be defined because it has been used for a long time. it's wrong. it's wrong. ... (without saying what's right) etc, etc, etc... In face of such chaos, I tried to help by putting the rules in a clear diagram so that the incongruities would stand out and be corrected, and the reactions were twofold: - yeah, finally a simple and understandable explanation - it's wrong, but again without saying more, less making corrections |
