[Tagging] Tagging Digest, Vol 52, Issue 11

[BGNO BGNO]

Hi,

this is the first time I am answering to a mailing list. I checked
"digest" and now I am not sure how to give individual answers, so I am
going to answer to various questions of you within a single mail.
Sorry. (I already unchecked "digest", so hopefully things will become
easier next time.)

No, not yet. Where can I find that discussion?

I found a couple of values in taginfo (from a key of an abandoned
proposal): http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/?key=usability#values
Interesting values are: yes, no, robust_wheels, 4wd.
In my proposal I am using the unapproved value "off_road_vehicle"
which is supposed to be different from "4wd". (A 4wd shall be an off
road vehicle but also a tractor.)

I am flexible with that. We can go with "usability" for example.

No, it wouldn't. I modified the proposal in order to answer your
question. Please see there.

I like "usability". There is an abandoned proposal:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/usability
Would it be possible to recycle the word "usability" for my proposal?
