[OSM-talk] tagging long distance footpaths (and other named footpaths)

I am in your hands guys. I see the merit of using the relationships as this
allows all sorts of tagging options and I am happy to try it that way. If so
we would have to agree the tag values to be used within the relationship to
specify the correct category of path (long distance European etc).

Is that easier than splitting semicolons(using the ncn,rcn type tags)?

Is there really a bigger decision to make about tagging routes in general?
and when should we make it?

The general motto of 'render and they will come' may apply. Possibly I will
wait until someone starts rendering this stuff and then follow their lead.



Regards,



Peter
