[Tagging] OSM is a right mess (was: Craigslist OpenStreetMap Rendering Issue)

[Jo]

For me it stands for 1 or 2 persons standing there you can get directions
from. All you need to do is ask. It might be unknown when they're there :-)

Anyway, for all its flaws the tagging system mostly works, don't fix it if
it isn't (completely) broken.

Cheers,

Jo
