I'm not. I am asking about an existing and growing tagging practice and existing tagging proposal, trying to see if things could move a little towards a solution within existing standard OSM practice. I only suggested adding an already existing type of rendering for one already existing key which has gained some usage despite not being rendered, not inventing something totally new. I am asking about the conditions which would have to be met for the standard OSM Carto to consider doing this. That is not "tell a group of people within OSM do things differently". A proposal for rendering a particular tag which doesn't hurt anyone, is fully backwards compatible and has already gained some popularity, on OSM Carto, is hardly a revolution or worth a fork. 2018-06-08 17:52 GMT+02:00 Andy Townsend <ajt1...@gmail.com>: > On 08/06/2018 16:03, Peter Elderson wrote: > >> >> In this case, rendering is crucial so any documentation would need to >> address that. >> > > To echo what other people have suggested, you are entirely free to set up > a rendering* of whatever OSM tags you want as however you want.
