[OSM-talk] How to tag dead-ends and how to distinguish them from incomplete ways

[Dave F.]

You see, this is where I get /really /confused

I see no reference to 'todo' or 'continue' in the general OSM wiki.
In the Groundtruth wiki page they're highlighted red, saying there there 
no reference page.

I'm repeatedly told "don't tag for the renderers"

Yet it appears in this case the renderers are telling the mappers what 
to do.
The previous post implies these tags will only work in Groundtruth renders.

What am I not understanding?

At the moment it looks like the left hand is deliberately not
telling the right what is going on.

I fully support the endeavours of OSM but the hierarchical stature of it 
leaves me baffled at the moment.

Oh, & Liz, if you're reading. please don't post to tell me some of the 
'regulars' have anarchy symbols on the blog page as if that some how 
makes it all OK.

I hope you can all show me the light.

Cheers
Dave F.
