[Taginfo-dev] Feature request, might solve a small bit of the xapi-problem

[Gorm E. Johnsen]

Hi

Suggested feature:
That each key/value combination remembers one (or a few?) of the relevant
osm-object-ids.
That way we could link directly to the map, object info page and
remote-control for those objects, completely bypassing xapi.

Why?
3/4 of the unique values of the highway tag has three or less occurrences.
Most are mistakes, mis-spellings and other errors.
Some of the values legal in the db is really difficult or impossible to
search for in xapi.
 - try searching for highway=highway=service... or other strange
combinations

best regards
