It would be of high value, also beyond the scope of OSM alone, to collect and document such ideas from a broad range of cultural backgrounds world wide - much more than just putting up a mockup illustration of the first symbol that comes to mind for the writer of a proposal showing how they - to put it bluntly - would imagine this to be shown in the map after thinking about it for five minutes.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Some suggested rendering has been poorly-conceived after a few minutes of</div><div>thought.
