[When] 9 months ago [Comment] I have thought alot about sidwalk inclusion and find it more useful for the thisgs I do and map wich relate to pedestrian facilities and class seperated roads with borders seperated and mixed cycleways and diversions into footpaths. I find adding to much to a way is going to be a problem going forward as to implement the current parking scheme I already will need to chop some short residential streets about 30-50 times for each offical change in parking allowances along its length If start choping it for other small features its going to become very unweildly and considrably less useful to routing that has to wade though more routeing ways when one cleaner one would have been faster to use. I think relationships connected feature in the areas descibed in the article would help glue all of it back into a logical data entity. Thinking carefully about backwards compatibleity I concluded that if a system wasn't expecting something new then it wouldn't hurt too much to put a new thing where the old system wasn't expecting it to be on the basis that a system adapting to find the new thing could as happily look for it in the new place when it was in a form an old system could understand its format ie only taged ways nodes and relatiions still. I'll pass this up when transfer it to the help sys soon i'mout of timetoday... [Post]
