Uh so I did the math, and unless I've got this wrong, the difference
between survey feet and international feet for tagging, let's say,
Mount Everest, is less than seven one-hundredths of an inch. So I'm
really not even sure why we're discussing it beyond the fact that
we're all nerds about this sort of thing.
You got me. :-) The actual proposal doesn't mention the foot's two
definitions at all, and so far I'm planning to keep it that way.
I think it's important to be definitionally correct, even if it doesn't
really matter. It's a slippery slope, and pretty soon \pi is 3.
Poor Indiana. ;-) The definition of the foot would apply to the ' and ft
abbreviations in every context, not just the ele=* key, so I'd suggest
considering it separately, probably without the formality of a vote. The
main unit symbol listing has come together more informally over the
years. [1]
Sooner or later, OpenHistoricalMap will have a lot of fun with this issue...
