It would have resolved these problems. Maybe somebody could review and eventually improve it and put it forward for a new vote (this time advertised properly).<br>
<br>
</div>I definitively would support this! Maybe we should just reopen it for RFC for a month or two and then put it up for a vote.<br></blockquote><div><br>So do I!<br><br>About power=generator, according to the don-vip's proposal, it's the same as substations.<br>
Areas covering the facility is tagged with power=plant whereas generators (nodal) are described with power=generator right in the power=plant area. Although, a big power plant with many different generation mediums would have many power=generators with different source=* tags.<br>
In substations there're an area with power=sub_station (or substation, it depends of what is adopted) and transformers in it.<br><br>The voltage difference must definetly be written in a voltage=* tag, not by the type of substation in the power tag.<br>
<br>Two other similar situations, regarding power lines.<br>I've started a talk around the deprecation of power=cable here <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:power%3Dcable">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:power%3Dcable</a> for the same reasons.<br>
In a functional way of thinking, location must be brought by another tag, location=* obviously, not by a value of power=* because it's still a power line matter.<br><br>The second one concern the values minor_* like power=miinor_line, power=minor_cable... Shouldn't we use two tags instead of only one to specify such information?<br>
<br>These issues had to be discussed in an overall proposal.<br><br><br>Cheers.<br> <br></div></div><b>François Lacombe</b><br><br>francois dot lacombe At telecom-bretagne dot eu<br><a href="http://www.infos-reseaux.com" target="_blank">http://www.infos-reseaux.com</a><br>
