The rant about those source tags is something you'd better aim at talk-fr...

Het is niet zo moeilijk voor iemand om te zien dat een volledig
geschreven naam dezelfde is als de afgekorte naam en ook voor
computers is het eenvoudiger om iets te coderen dat afkort, dan
iets dat correct 'expandeert'.<br>

And what is the cost of a "in" and a "ue" minus two "." beside
thousands and thousands of:<br>
"cadastre-dgi-fr source : Direction Générale des Impôts - Cadastre.
Mise à jour : 2012"?<br>
(using "source" and "cadastre" twice)<br>
<br>
BTW:<br>
-does anybody know why they tag that source on each and every node?
How could the nodes have a source different from that of their way?<br>
- and, conversely, how, on the French border, can the source be 2012
for the way and 2011 for the nodes?<br>
- how is it possible that they split a segment of that border with
one half source 2011 and the other 2012? Did they go on strike
while tagging?<br>
- how is it possible that that date changing border is in places a
good 20 m away from my RW source? Does it move a little bit each
year unnoticed?<br>
<br>
My strongest argument is having those terms understood by
foreigners.<br>
Think of trying to understand what Ул. and Г. mean.<br>
Hence what I understand the least is why dictionaries use
abbreviations.<br>
(and why "abbreviation" uses one more letter than "abréviation" ;-)
)<br>

Have a nice week,<br>
