Hi the list,<br><br>Some mappers and I try to refine, in a sustainable way, some items of the power tagging scheme.<br>Currently, the whole thing is still under the proposal or RFC state and some questions need the opinion of tools developers to be known.<br>
<br>Especially on the power=cable vs power=line, I propose to deprecate all other values of power=* excepting power=line to describe power lines (air, underground, undersea,...) and to use location=*.<br>An underground power line would be described with power=line + location=underground instead of power=cable.<br>
Some members argue it would cause rendering issues since many components of the tool chain are based upon the power=* value distinguishing.<br><br>With this new way of thinking, power=line won't be used any more to make difference between visible and non visible stuff.<br>
<br>Will it cause heavy load of work to conform tools to that kind of rules?<br>I encourage you to get involved in the discussions here :<br><a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:power%3Dcable">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:power%3Dcable</a><br>
<a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Proposed_features/Power_transmission_refinement">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Proposed_features/Power_transmission_refinement</a><br><br><br>I would like to ask the same question for the substation : no distinguish on power=sub_station, power=transformer, etc... any more but power=substation and voltage / type / location value to best describe each situation.<br>
