[OpenStreetMap talk-lu] Reference format (Was: Meeting 2012)

[Frank Broniewski]

HI,

this seems really a difficult thing to be. I had a look at our Topo 
maps, scales 1:5.000 and 1:20.000, they use the "C.R. 200" naming 
scheme. The BDTopo (2001) follows this scheme also. I also had a look 
while driving home and road signs tended to use the "CR 200" scheme for 
the road itself, and in combination with driving directions the "CR" is 
omitted.

 From the map rendering view I'd like to have a space between "CR" and 
the number, just for a better readability of road signs. AFAIK there's 
no possibility to manipulate text with mapnik. But I know, we don't map 
for the renderer. Nevertheless, personally I prefer a version with a 
space between "CR" and the number. IMO the abbreveation points do not 
carry any useful information, so those could be omitted.

Just my 2 cents,

Frank
