[Tagging] The concept of "audience" (commuter, tourist...) in bicycle routing/neworks

[stevea]

One concept I'll toss out is "audience."  (Maybe bicycling_audience).  Once it's clear to me (and others) whether we're talking about a "collection of ways," (distinct from a route?), a route, routes, a network or networks (that is not yet clear to me), syntax might be fashioned for "this."  It might be :audience bolted onto network, it might be simply key:audience=* or bicycling_audience=*, with initial sensible values of [commuter, tourist].  I mean if that "relatively new concept not already well-articulated" actually tags for what you mean, well, we're onto something.

That's a flavor of what I'm hearing.  Yes, think of this as a "design exercise" where we toss out a proto-concept and others tear it to shreds (that's usual, and OK).  It's what we learn as we do that that can guide in better directions.  Lather, rinse, repeat.
