[OSM-talk] Barrier=block areas

[Warin]

If the thought is to map a group of blocks as an area .. then my vote is 
no at least without more information.
It raises the question as to what the level of obstruction is - are 
motorcycles bared by this barrier? Horses? How badly are pedestrians 
impeded? What about people in wheelchairs?
So there needs to be a scale of impediment.
