Actually the "source:maxspeed" tag was discussed years ago (2009 IIRR) on this list and by the time approved. The idea to use maxspeed:type instead is very new compared to this, and there wasn't any actual proposal to see whether this was backed by the community, rather then what appears to be a national initiative of some folk in the british comunity in order to make up something different to how it is done elsewhere: http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/maxspeed%3Atype#map http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/source:maxspeed#map If there was a proposal and a discussion whether to use maxspeed:type rather then wiki fiddling, I guess we could still change the key name / tagging scheme, given that there would sufficient support by the comunity which also implies that there would be some net benefit from changing. On the (connected) question of tagging sources on single objects or to a changeset we appearantly can't find consensus, at least it wasn't possible in the past years. A lot of mappers are insisting on this way of tagging even if the associated problems cannot be solved (mainly how to deal with these tags when you perform modifications on an object). And as we are #2 when generalizing source:maxspeed > <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:source:maxspeed>=survey we are > making using maxspeed:type > <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:maxspeed:type>=* mandatory. > we won't probably make anything "mandatory". cheers, Martin
