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

[Igor Brejc]

Hi,

I suppose I'm the culprit for the "todo=continue" and "todo=junction" 
tags, since I've used them internally for some time and then added them 
to GroundTruth hiking rules once I developed GroundTruth.

These tags are not primarily rendering-oriented, they are just pointers 
(for me and anyone else who cares) that certain ways were not explored 
(from the "todo=continue" point onwards) or that there is an unexplored 
junction on the footway. The area I'm mapping is full full full of these 
and I cannot cover them all in one go, so I need a way to mark them for 
future reference.

Regards,
Igor
