[Talk-ht] PAHO Medical Facilities

[Al Haraka]

Kate,

I totally agree and understand about tagging dispensary, either means
not rendering.  I thought the implication here was that, in other
cases, we consider fudging the data a little bit for rendering.  I was
wondering this when I found medical facilites called dispensaries
prior with US Defense mapping data.  I feel like an idiot for not
having asked sooner, because I was curious where the balance was.

Then again, I heavily agree with the outcry from the most hardcore
developers and specialists on the list, that the data integrity is
important, and specialty renderers can be developed and put online
later if need be.  Then again, I get the feeling I misunderstood a
taxonomy discussion for a (more or less, not sure in this case)
practical one.

Best,
_AJS
