I guess no one should tag a single feature with both power=* and railway=* since they are actually separated in reality.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/167556124 is an error : is it an abandoned railway with power feeder remaining on landscape or a power line built on the abandoned railway ? We don't know really... So tags like usage=*, location=*, operator=*, ... should be domain-less and get a worldwide extent for each field of knowledge which require them. operator=* sounds to be the perfect example : everyone should use them but all companies in the world won't operate all features. We didn't create power:operator and railway:operator. I hope I'm clear :) All the best *François Lacombe* fl dot infosreseaux At gmail dot com www.infos-reseaux.com @InfosReseaux <http://www.twitter.com/InfosReseaux> 2014-12-04 13:50 GMT+01:00 Martin Koppenhoefer <dieterdre...@gmail.com>: > > 2014-12-03 19:55 GMT+01:00 Michael Reichert <naka...@gmx.net>: > >> I do not know why anyone should tag one OSM way both with power=* and >> railway=*. >> > > > here are some examples: > http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/167556124 > http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/167556076 > and some more ways: > 12279208 > 102605934 > 102605956 > 102605964 > 102605870 > 102606010 > 12271449 > 102605932 > 102606020 > 20649231 > 20065378 > 159234583 > 159234590 > 20062789 > 159234589 > 20060234 > 117020356 > 20059936 > 87829940 > > haven't checked all, but they seem to be in majority ways tagged as > railway=abandoned.
