That's not strictly true; I did object (and you replied) via the OSM
message system when you started updating fords so that they didn't
reflect the sense of what was there on the ground. The
"highway=ford to highway=blah/ford=yes" change did make sense*; it
was the other "tidying" that you did at the same time that I
objected to.<br>

Please no. There seems to be an infinite number of monkeys over
there but they've not come close to the works of Shakespeare.<br>

If you want to influence the way stuff is tagged in OSM go out and
map stuff; you can then tag it how you like.<br>
<br>
* some warning would have been helpful though, so that people who
render maps (which includes anyone who creates maps for e.g. Garmin
GPSs) can keep up to date with how someone in an armchair thinks
things should be tagged this week.<br>
