[Talk-ca] Osmose minor_line question

[Adam Martin]

Hi all,

I've been adding power infrastructure around my area in OSM for several
months now.  Power towers, power poles, power lines, minor lines,
transformers, and so forth.  Looking at Osmose, I noticed that it considers
a minor power line that stops near a house to be an error (though a low
one).  Specifically, I am told that I have Unfinished power minor lines.
I've been trying to clear any issues like that that I see (and especially
those I create), but I have a question about how to end them.  Osmose
recommends *location:transition=yes*, but I disagree.  The end of pole
lines, at least in my area / province, do not transition into underground
lines, they just end.  They represent the last connection to a home on that
line and terminate there (and, I assume, the excess energy is grounded, as
in transmitted into the ground and dispersed safely).

My thinking was that, if I use the *location:transition=yes*, this is
factually incorrect.  I think it would be better to use
*location:transition=grounded* or maybe *minor_line=grounding* or similar.

Thoughts?

Adam
