<p>The point I was trying to make is that in the iD editor, the
field "inscription" comes up as a default and is mis-used for
descriptions. I would like to see a way to prevent that.<br>
</p>
<p>Obviously, a signpost has an inscription, but that field maybe
comes up for signpost which I would presume is the primary key. I
usually map signposts/ guideposts in situ rather than in iD, so I
don't know off the top of my head what fields come up for it.<br>

<div>It's on the US National Register of Historic Places which

those in Europe would just consider the sign to be a little

<p>I also noticed that the <span><span

I think that's the "fault" of the iD editor form for
