I guess that's how it is then :-( > Note that insulation is also a draft proposal > https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Insulation_proposal That seems really difficult to deal with. In particular, distribution lines around me have a coating to provide mechcanicla protection but which is not insulation in the electrical sense. Even people with engineering degrees cannot reliably tell this when looking at it from several feet away. > I'm still opposed to minor_line since in merge several different concept in > one value, and is only useful for rendering.

I think you should go ahead and do that. Basically power=cable or power=line that lacks voltage should be treated as power=minor_line voltage=250V. In general I think it's good to have mistagged/undertagged things rendered less, so that people will tag them to render, rather than having to tag to unrender. It would be intereresting to analyze the voltage tags on minor_line. Probably there are none > 45 kV and few above 13.8 kV ish. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
