[Talk-GB] access:psv

[Chris Hill]

There are not an infinite number of ways to tag things. In order to edit the tags you think need changing, you have to find them. So instead of editing them just add the tag to your list of accepted tags. If you edit you have to re-download the extract of the OSM data, if you simply update your list of tags then just run your code again. 

If you edit tags as you describe that is a mechanical edit and I would insist it is reverted.

Cheers, Chris (chillly)
