I asked Gerd to revert the edit simply because it was an undiscussed 
mechanical edit, for which Gerd has acknowledged and apologised (thanks 
Gerd). I would like to add that discussion on this list may reach a 
conclusion about the tags used (if we're lucky), but that still will not 
be a suitable place to discuss a mechanical edit. Gerd's link is to an 
edit across much of GB, so it needs to be discussed *and* agreed with GB 
mappers. I would suggest that GB mechanical edits need to be discussed 
on talk-GB and / or the #osm-gb irc channel. Similar mechanical edits in 
other countries or areas need to be similarly discussed and agreed in 
appropriate lists and channels too.
