Disagree here - when you start using a new tag you should document it and you should do so on a normal tag/key page so someone looking for how to map the same thing will find it and see how it used so far and a data user stumbling across the tag will find it as well and know what it means. Proposals often cannot be easily found this way, there can be multiple contradicting proposals for the same tag, they are not indexed by taginfo etc. Proposals are about ideas how something could be tagged, not about documenting how something is tagged. The problem discussed here is different - it is about the creation of a complete tagging system on an abstract basis without the descriptions and definitions actually deriving from practical use and presenting this as if this was an established tagging idea with broad support. For this indeed a proposal is a more suitable place. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
