[OSM-talk-be] questions on Bxl osmose issues

[Marc Gemis]

Hallo Marc,

Don't know that much about busses, I assume others (Jo ?) will reply to this.
But you could ask (as a changeset comment) why they changed the names
so they do no longer comply with the Belgian "rules".
This is often the best way to understand a certain change. They other
just have to guess the intent of the mapper that actually made the
change.

As for streets represented by different ways, there might be good
reasons to have separate ways:
- different characteristics : surface, maxspeed, ...
- only a part of the street is part of a route (bus, cycle, hiking, etc.)

I don't see differences in this particular case, but I might have
overlooked one. But in general, you do not need to take the time to
remerge a street that is split in several ways.
