However, access=permit was only agreed upon in the last couple of months whereas those tags were added prior to that approval and access=permissive was the best fit back then. I should have made it clearer I was describing what had been tagged and not endorsing what had been done. Actually, I only remembered access=permit after I'd sent that mail.

Certainly if I were mapping it now I'd use access=permit. I'd hesitate to change the existing tags without first contacting the original mapper. Which I shall leave to somebody else who feels like taking on that particular exercise. -- Paul
