> Hi all,

> Following useful comments received about the utility markers proposal, it
> has been reworked a bit.

> Now marker=* is used to classify markers upon their shape and design,
> which allows to include already used marker=stone in it. marker=* is
> intended in the specific context of utility markers but can be used
> elsewhere if suitable.
> This change enable to get rid of support=* key as the design of the marker
> implies the support. It's now more convenient to use marker=* on another
> feature (marker=plate on power=pole for instance).
>
> utility=* key is introduced to give information of what is actually
> referred by the marker.
> More valuable than the colour (which is nevertheless optional), utility
> will be usable in many contexts and situations with a set of commonly
> adopted values and ability to define more local ones if required.
>
> For now I'm still in favour of deprecating pipeline=marker and don't
> encourage to use power=marker any more (I'm aware this require a
> significant effort
> As explained, markers aren't part of pipelines or cables and they should
> get their own key as to not clutter several keys with the same concept.

> Feel free to raise concerns on Talk page, all the best
