[OSM-talk] [tagging] RFC: railway=incline

[Tomáš Tichý]

Both this proposals have the same flaw I pointed out before - you
cannot tag other types of railway systems as incline. So you cannot
have funicular subway or rag light_rail, which of course exists in
reality.
So please include my proposal to voting:
    railway=rail | light_rail | tram | subway ...
    rack = no (default) | yes | {more specific type} (e.g. Riggenbach, Abt ...)
    funicular ( or cable? ) = no | yes | {more specific type} (e.g.
cable_car ...)

Additional tags could be discussed further but I strongly diagree to
mix traction type or steep with "railway" tag, which indicates rail
system.
