asking is always good.

-1, discussions are better held on the ML IMHO. That's the purpose.
Use the wiki to document the outcome.

there is no benefit IMHO in changing the nodes to ford=yes, but IMHO
also no big harm (besides hundreds of programms and x pages in the
wiki will have to be modified). Will YOU personally modify all wiki
pages to assure consistency? There is currently 143 pages:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&search=ford
some of them might not be related to fords but to Fords.


If we change: Why not barrier=ford? This would IMHO imply more
information and would be valid for all the nodes I tagged with
highway=ford. Does it work as well for the fords you tagged on nodes?
