[OSM-talk] Parking symbols: YUCK!

[80n]

Hey, lets get back to basics here.

landuse=parking means exactly that.  An area of land used for parking.  It
makes no statement either way about whether its public or private.  Its just
a bit of land where cars are parked.

IMHO landuse=parking on its own should *not* generate a P symbol.
