Hi all,
 I have made some fairly modest additions to map_features.xml to get
my feet wet:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/767553/OSM/map_features.xml

(Attaching to the list didn't work). What do I need to do to get SVN
commit access? Or where is the best place to send
patches?

Additions in this version:
- add airports
- add bike lanes
- add foot=yes/no
- extend rivers properties to stream,canal,drain etc
- add cuttings, embankments
- add bicycle=yes/no
- add tentative documentation at top (needs review)

It occurs to me (and has probably occurred to others) that the current
model for making all types of railway=* top level features is not
really sustainable. Even with these few changes, the Transport
features tab is starting to get quite unwieldy. There should probably
be a way to select "railway" or "tramway" or "airport" as the feature,
then choose the subtypes (railway spur, taxiway...) as properties.

(My apologies if attaching a file to this list was Not The Done Thing).

Steve
