[OSM-talk] FYI - Automated edit: footway -> sidewalk

[Gregory]

I object based on the British/American language. I don't have an account on
the forum.
Why did people tag sidewalk=* ? Maybe they meant something different to the
established tag of footway=*.
Change footway in America if you have to, but don't go changing it in the
UK or other countries. What's the point of having a preferred language for
tags if we go against it because some Americans can't deal with another
language. Many other non-British countries cope or use an editor with
translations.

This is also probably a discussion for tagging@ not the general talk list.
