[OSM-talk] cadastre, ways, rendering

[Jochen Topf]

Hi!

I have added the following to the FAQ at
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Tagging_FAQ:

-------
Segments should not have any tags (except "created_by" which is
automatically added by the editor software). Put all tags on the ways.
Split up ways as necessary.

This is a much debated topic. See Tagging Segments for more details and
reasons.
-------

And I have added the new Wiki page
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Tagging_Segments

with basically the text from my earlier posting here. Not perfect, but
feel free to improve the explanations.

Generally I think we need to add things discussed here to the Wiki more
often. Otherwise they are "lost" and we have nothing to point to when the
issue comes up again.
