Just a thought – as there as a zillion different map products and
services being stood up, two things would be helpful regarding
symbology:



It might be helpful if we could work towards standardizing symbols –
say around the FGDC Homeland Security Working Group map symbol set at:
http://www.fgdc.gov/HSWG/index.html
If those working on the data side through OSM were able to help align
the tags/classification of objects towards those things for which
symbology is clearly identified, that would be helpful.  Even better
would be sub-classification that matched the symbology (eg., a major
trauma center would be a level 1 hospital versus an aid station with a
doctor might be a level 4 hospital).
