As I explained in the talk page previously, I would like to stay with roro as a value, because it's more common in the usage.</blockquote></div></div><br><br>I still believe you should expand this. It might be more common for specialists to use the abbreviation, but in OSM most mappers won't be naval specialists and will have no clue what "roro" is about. It is a common requirement for osm tags to be explicit and to avoid abbreviations.<br>
