Dear all,<br>
<br>
I just learned that the main API does allow empty tag values, e.g.<br>
<a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/2411598379" target="_blank">http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/2411598379</a><br>
<br>
However, JOSM does not allow to set empty tags (it removes the tag instead),<br>
and that was never a reason for a bug report, i.e. at least half of all OSM<br>
users never missed them. And I assume several other software doesn't properly<br>
handle empty tags too.<br>
<br>
Should empty tags be allowed? Or should empyt tags silently treated as the tag<br>
being absent?<br>
</blockquote><div><br><br></div><div>+1, it doesn't seem reasonable to allow empty tag values, nor values consisting of only spaces.<br><br></div><div>cheers,<br>Martin <br></div></div></div></div>
