[OSM-talk] Fixme: A proposal

[Andy Robinson]

Have to admit I'm a inclined to be a little lazy and often just add two
nodes after the stub rather than a fixme.

Cheers
Andy

You can't tell without a fixme whether something is a stub because it's
incomplete, or because it really is like that.

Example: http://osm.org/go/eutFfSar-- . That looks very much like a stub
because bridleways don't peter out in the middle of nowhere. Surely it
requires resurvey? Except this one... genuinely does peter out.

It's great that you have so many mappers that you can rely on footfall alone
to guarantee completeness. Footpaths in remote rural areas aren't like that.
