Hi all,

adding my 2cts.

I'm for using ref= or ref:xxx= as these would be references. Referencing
or relating to the PSMA data set. I don't see comment as suitable when
there is a reference tag for ....referencing identifiers.

With regards to upload first and then clean up later. I am against it.
If preparing a change locally and merging it into the existing map prior
to uploading is too complicated now, who is going to see through what
needs to be done later?

I am an advocate of doing it right first time and therefore I suggest to
review if by going slower this can be achieved. e.g. break the task up
into smaller bit but do them right using task manager. If consistency is
required a wiki or local note file has helped me in the past to be
consistent over a lengthy time.

Cheers,

Seb
