Hello Christoph,

As I read your message, I failed to see your points.
I might be missing something obvious, or at least clear for some
advanced mappers.
Maybe you could explain in some more details the problems with this
mapping guide?

What is so shocking in these mapping instructions [1], "in light of
the projects in question"?


What is so shocking in these mapping instructions [1] "because of what
is presented [...] as good practice"?

OSMs good practice [2] is a long page.
Would you please elaborate on which OSMs good practice, these mapping
instructions are lacking?


All questions are asked in true and good faith, to learn.
Your answers would be valuable to me.
