Do we need to?

I remember seeing mention in the Tagging list a little while back re a new
way of mapping highways in Japan.

Couldn't we just create an Australian Walking Track scheme, adapting the
above to OSM & marked for use in Australia only? (but allowing others to
adopt it for their own countries eg South Africa would be much more likely
to use an Aussie system than SAC!)

Would need to be marked that way in Big Red Letters :-), together with a
request for overseas mappers to not try & "correct" it based on their local
conditions.

Thanks

Graeme
