Dear all,
I just learned that the main API does allow empty tag values, e.g.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/2411598379
However, JOSM does not allow to set empty tags (it removes the tag instead),
and that was never a reason for a bug report, i.e. at least half of all OSM
users never missed them. And I assume several other software doesn't properly
handle empty tags too.
Should empty tags be allowed? Or should empyt tags silently treated as the tag
being absent?
Cheers,
Roland
