[OSM-talk] Fixme: A proposal

[Kev js1982]

Commo fixme in the East midlands at least is
Fixme:stub for future suvey
Typically a path or bridleway where the end has been surveyed but the route
not traversed.  often these hasn't been placed to accuratly either (i.e.
Someone spotted it when passing without gps) so incomplete isn't accurate
either!

Whats the best way of finding these, the only one i have seen is the ito
analysis but they dont offer zooming in :-(

(dont suggest josm, me and it seam to hate one another)
