To suggest that we now have to include every possible tag with an explicit value on every element is just ridiculous: the logical consequence of an explicit oneway on all ways.
Where there really is a need to remove ambiguity, surely something like an area or perhaps relation (less obvious to the casual mapper) is needed within which the default value(s) for a tag(s) is defined. Now I start worrying about new ways crossing the area, so maybe a relation is better after all. Just a suggestion which needs refinement if anyone here thinks this is sensible. But the current argument: "shall we or not?" isn't going anywhere and normal mappers just won't add explicit tags in normal circumstances. You need a different approach and maybe what I say above can start the ball rolling. ael _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
