[OSM-talk] Craigslist OpenStreetMap Rendering Issue

Without defending the author of the Craigslist stylesheet: tracking OSM
data changes is hard.

In part due to the negative attitude towards cleanup mechanical edits, the
data is all over the place.
1, -1, reverse, true, false, no, yes, maybe.  Aghgh.  Stuff gets deprecated
then rots in place for weeks
months years.

How could a rendering engine keep up with all the positive and negative
terms people dream up,
wikifi, and then use inconsistently?

---------------------

Mechanical edits help data consumers.  Clear tag descriptions help data
consumers and mappers.
Editor validations helps data consumers, and it's rather weak right now.
API level rejection of certain
edit patterns would help even more.

A clear migration path between tagging schemes would help data consumers a
lot.
