>Martin<br><br>This is the problem in a nutshell. Implications, and bundling of values in a key.<br><br>Let's say there is no such tag as highway=motorway.<br><br>Is a 'motorway' just - highway=primary[1]; access:private[2]; car=yes[3]; motorway=yes; lorry;yes; max_speed;x; <br>lanes:3; hardsholder:yes?<br><br>i.e. do you take an implied access[1], then void that applied access[2], then state specific means of transport<br>to build up a motorway like description through multiple specific tags?[3]<br><br>now see the 'track issue' as this.<br><br>highway=track; access:private; foot=yes; horse;yes; (a hundred other regulations;yes)<br><br>now just like the motorway being more than just tarmack for cars motorbikes. it is 'a motorway' - a bundle of<br>rules and regulations. A package. And this needs to render as such. The motorway example isn't a sort of<br>primary road. It is a 'motorway'. The bridlway on a track isn't a sort of track. It is a bridlway. It can go<br>on a track.<br><br>So the aforementioned track tag combo is a 'bridleway'.<br><br>highway=track; highway=bridleway<br><br>not possible.<br><br>highway=track; designation=public bridleway<br><br>not rendering, and contradicted by what does render.<br><br>Ben<br></pre><br> </body>
