[OSM-talk] Routing on osm.org

[Colin Smale]

+1 to that! Hope it doesn't lead to an outbreak of "tagging for the
router" though... You know, down/upgrading roads to "improve" the
results... 

My first quick test in Kent yielded a route (about 6 miles) which while
perfectly viable, no-one in their right mind would take. But that is
probably more of a quirk of OSRM than anything else.
