Please don't make end users change too much on the next update!<br>
I think the current data model is pretty OK, it is more a data data
model than a sematical one. And I think we should keep it like that

have already given a thought to the fact that nodes actually
represent 2 different concepts in the current api:<br>
- a node in the geometrical sense, i.e. used to define a
linestring/way<br>
- a POI<br>
<br>
Wouldn't keep the "node" element only for POI (i.e. with tags) a
better idea? E.g something like this:<br>
<blockquote style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px
solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"
class="gmail_quote">
<node version="0" lon="3.5348711" lat="54.1945783"
timestamp="2010-10-12T12:35:18Z" user="" id="-9" ><br>
<tag k="highway" v="traffic_light"/><br>
</node><br>
<way version="0" timestamp="2010-10-12T12:35:02Z" user=""
id="-2"><br>
<point lon="3.5317073" lat="54.1929773"/><br>
<nd ref="-9"/><br>
<point lon="3.5377391" lat="54.1960297"/><br>
</way><br>

Seems to me that it would:<br>
- be less confusing, both for consumers and editors<br>
- save db space<br>
- save memory/CPU cycle on the consumer side<br>
<br>
What do you think?<br>
