I can see what you mean, but newbies may get the wrong idea. And this could be construed by some of our more righteous OSM folks as encouraging newbies to be "tagging for the render." We don't want either the newbies or the righteous to think that! So some re-wording might keep others from getting confused? In addition to "Jump Right in," you should probably link the OSM Wiki and note our practice of tagging as it appears on the ground, and letting the renderer adjust.</div><div style="font-family:georgia,serif;display:inline" class="gmail_default"><br></div><div style="font-family:georgia,serif;display:inline" class="gmail_default"><br></div><div style="font-family:georgia,serif;display:inline" class="gmail_default">In particular, "width=2" has some meaning other than "make it look wider". <br></div><div style="font-family:georgia,serif;display:inline" class="gmail_default">There are specific values for the surface tag on the wiki; <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:surface" target="_blank">linking</a> that page might be better than copying here.</div><div style="font-family:georgia,serif;display:inline" class="gmail_default"><br></div><div style="font-family:georgia,serif;display:inline" class="gmail_default"><br></div><div style="font-family:georgia,serif;display:inline" class="gmail_default">(What do you do with a trail that is MISSING an access= tag?)</div><div style="font-family:georgia,serif;display:inline" class="gmail_default"><br></div><div style="font-family:georgia,serif;display:inline" class="gmail_default"><br></div><div style="font-family:georgia,serif;display:inline" class="gmail_default">Cheers,</div><div style="font-family:georgia,serif;display:inline" class="gmail_default"><br></div><div style="font-family:georgia,serif;display:inline" class="gmail_default"><br></div><div style="font-family:georgia,serif;display:inline" class="gmail_default">Bill in Boston<br></div></div></div>
