Yes, it seems sometimes hard to convince people that the situation is one country (or continent) can be totally different from the rest of the world. And since the voting process is dominated by certain groups, anything that is not common to the UK-US-Germany is harder to get accepted, at least that is my impression. I am thinking e.g. about the named junctions, as well as this proposal. That's a pity. Maybe as a community we should try harder to understand the cultural differences before casting a vote ? Sometimes we try to generalize to hard in our tagging definitions I think. Let the generalization to the data consumer and allow the mappers to map specific stuff. m p.s. I probably have made that same mistake myself and might easily make it again. It's too easy to project your local situation to similar, yet different concepts existing elsewhere.
