[Talk-ca] What do I poutine the name tag of a road with a suffix?

I should likely keep quiet about now, yet I feel compelled to say this.

As long as OSM has "map what I know as data" (a fantastic, revolutionary idea as we crowdsource this) as well as "rendered" (or routed, or used-case for speech, or any of infinity unimagined-as-of-yet use cases...) data, OSM WILL have (does have) this "tug" between entering data (especially clear, good, unambiguous tagging) and delivering said data.  We do.  It is "the dialogs among the data themselves," as it were.  All of this is very much OSM.  Including the admonishment NOT to "tag for the renderer."  It is a "tug" and something that is real and flows through our data.

"Full stack" mapping that is constantly self-tuning will always have this:  it is multiple conversations happening up and down the stack simultaneously on any number of "channels" for various purposes.  Yes, our map is THAT plastic.  Now, back to the truly difficult task of "and all of us here on Earth pretty much do this cooperatively."

P.S.  I love the pfunny Subject.

We can do this, we already do.  We keep talking amongst ourselves, that is correct.  I'm out, peace.
