[talk-au] Changing building levels elevator to description elevator shell

[Sigurjón Gísli Rúnarsson]

Thank you guys for the feedback.

Based on the discussion we have revised how we will map the elevator ways.

Inside:
building:part=elevator
building:levels=[number]
wheelchair=yes
level=0;1

Outside:
building=yes
description=elevator shell
building:levels=[number]
wheelchair=yes
level=0;1

We will revisit all our elevator ways in the coming days and weeks and
adjust accordingly.

>From our point of view we mainly use the elevator nodes for routing and the
ways are more for visual representation.  Going forward we will try to
match the tagging for both the ways and the nodes, if applicable.



Regards,
Sigurjon
