[Talk-GB] UK Tagging Guideline - wiki page proposals

[Richard Mann]

Anyone who uses the phrase "tagging for the renderer" deserves a yawn
(though I agree that forbearance is a virtue).

I also agree that single tagging is preferable, but if we can't agree
which, that's just a recipe for edit wars. And destroying data that other
people are using is exceedingly rude.

Perhaps we should just muddle along, and let evolution take its course. One
day, Mapnik will have offset lines and some of the issues will go away, but
in the mean time there's maps to be made.
