I have been using myself the operator=tag for this kind of stuff. Any opinion if brand= is more suitable than operator+.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Oct 23, 2008 at 1:05 PM, David Earl <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:david@frankieandshadow.com">david@frankieandshadow.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

shops, fuel, banks, atms etc. This seems like a good idea to me, as the<br>
name of something ("Murkets Corner filling station") can be different<br>
from its branding ("Shell"). Often you'd use them interchangeable<br>
("Starbucks" doesn't often have a specific name, other than perhaps the<br>
name of the street or town to which it applies, which is probably clear<br>
from the context).<br>
<br>
As this seems to be in fairly common use, I'll add it to map features as<br>
it isn't mentioned anywhere explicitly yet.<br>
<br>
Also, I will change the Name finder to start recognising it. New or<br>
amended 'brand's will get into the index fairly soon, but existing ones<br>
won't until I rebuild the index from a complete planet file, which I<br>
intend to do over Christmas (it will take at least a week to do this).<br>
