<div dir="ltr">Adding numeric values to the name of a peak is not
okay. As for using feet in the "ele" tag instead of meters, JOSM
discourages this practice and I think we should too. It's long
past the time when Americans and other countries still using
archaic and cumbersome measurement systems based on the length
of the king's foot or thumb should embrace the metric system.
The down side is that very peak I add involves an extra step.</div>

Aviation still uses feet? <br>
Asking a mapper who may not be familiar with conversion into meters
leads to errors. I'd rather have the render do the conversion as is
done for other dimensions. <br>

User Raymo853 and I are having a friendly
discussion on changeset<br>
50470413[1]. He has been adding the
elevation of mountain peaks (in<br>
feet) to the name tag. For example, he
changed "Crown Point" to "Crown<br>
Point 11,463 ft."[2] While the wiki doesn't
specifically address the<br>
issue of elevation as part of a peak name,
it does say "Name is the name<br>
only"[3].<br>
<br>
Could we get feedback from the wider
community on this?<br>

That's what this is for: <a

<br>
The only catch is that it has to be in meters,
so you would tag<br>
ele=3493.9 in your example.<br>
<br>

+1 to name tag is name only.<br>
<br>
<br>
--------------------------<br>
<br>
ele tag should be used for this information.<br>
<br>
And I would think that the ele value can be in
feet just like other dimensional units of width,
height etc.<br>
<br>
Should this be put as a new proposal?
