+1 You could run bots to find these errors and illustrate them but you should touch the values this way. Though, I am happy that you did not try to delete "nach vereinbarung" as some mapper did with my "appointment" but is seems that this should be added as value. JOSM Validator already warns about wrong syntax but it does not accept "appointment" or by "appointment". cu fly _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
