I think iD is coherent with the contract right now. Because the contract says that if you leave the value blank, that means "no". So iD has the need for a three-valued check box to be able to say "unset", since I suppose the database has plenty of NULLs. I was proposing a change in the way to interpret NULLs. If the value is unset, it is unset. The same way a name can be unset. Means unknown. Then the convenience default would be moved to the UI, "no" would be preselected. Equally helpful, but adds certainty to the data. Of course a change like this in meaning is major, it may be even impossible in practical terms, not familiar enough with the project ecosystem. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
