Fair enough, but if the rendering/router/whatever won't differentiate based on those tags, it won't help any the map user. Thus your point is moot if e.g. the rendering is based solely on surface=* (or actually, any particular subset of those "helpful" tags). > <quote author="johnw" > Tagging implies the built condition - and assumptions made from that tagging > affect rendering - which therefore affects routing decisions or user choice > of ways. </quote> > > Rendering should never rely on assumptions but on physical values. But this footway/path/trail controversy is about not rendering object that are physically very much different the same. -- i. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
