[talk-au] Things that would be nice if they rendered...

[David Murn]

One thing Id like to see tagged in some way, is railway ends.  These are
tagged as railway=buffer_stop, but dont have any indication on the
rendered map.  This makes it difficult sometimes to know if a track ends
at the node, or if it simply hasnt been mapped any further.  All it
would need is a single black dot, or an X or something at the end of the
line.

How do we go about getting these ideas added to the map?  Interestingly,
my example of railway=buffer_stop isnt mentioned on the railway= page,
but it is listed on the map features page.  There are almost 1400
occurances according to osmdoc.
