+1 indeed

The map your produce for private projects should be based on a static
export of OSM.
It will prevent any kind of vandalism to have impact on your valuable
services.

As data producer, may I ask you how can I refine any tagging scheme if so
called private projects have priority on information improvement and
general interest ?

Rainer, I doesn't avoid you contacting support at itoworld.com (and maybe any
other pipeline user) to inform them.

Why not. It will maintain type=* on features which shouldn't be described
with it and I think it's bad.

If we do so, the wiki must be assumed as a reference.
Because, when substance=* and type=* will be on every feature, who will be
able to make the distinguish between them both ?


All the best
