I'm honestly not sure which it is, or if it's both how they would align. (way #308060638, currently a path)<br>
<br>
That got me thinking: what if HOT (or eventually OSM in general) had a specialized forum where questions like this can be posted in reference to a way# or node# specifically? Interested parties can browse or standing-search the questions by tag (either OSM or topical), geofence, or whatever. It acts like a forum topic for the most part, where discussion can take place. Each can (as appropriate) have a poll with options being full OSM tagsets, anybody who's posted can add a poll option, and anybody who's already voted gets a notification when new options are added so they can reconsider.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately I have neither the time nor expertise to implement such a system, but I thought I'd toss the idea out if anybody wanted to run with it.<br>
