I think the difference is that "building = x" > in some sense defines the presence of the object, as does "highway = > x" on a way.

The problem with oneway is the key name - it's 3 letters too long: way=1 way=2 - maybe ways=1, ways=2. > > As for "landuse=residential" -- I agree that we could probably do > without it.

Again, the issue is the letters in the tag. landuse=place or landuse=settlement - landuse=town rather than landuse=residential, place=town - combine the two. > Personally I'm an advocate of covering the > majority of the map (not necessarily 100%) with some form of landuse > area, e.g. residential, industrial, grass/meadow/parkland, farmland, > etc. -- though I appreciate that not everyone shares that view. > > Anyone that doesn't share that view should be nowhere near OSM ! Sounds like a military cover-up to me ;) I do feel the default map not covered should be black though - to make the unmapped areas stand out :) -- Mike. @millomweb <https://sites.google.com/site/millomweb/index/introduction> - For all your info on Millom and South Copeland via *the area's premier website - * *currently unavailable due to the country's ongoing harassment of me, my family, property & pets* T&Cs <https://sites.google.com/site/pmailkeey/e-mail>
