Comment from Hjart
Is it really necessary to duplicate tags like this?
-
Comment from archie
Yes, it is. It's not duplicate tags anywhay because it's in an own namespace (seamarkings). Purpose: Name of harbor to be rendered on map.openseamap.org.

Comment from Hjart
Why can't you simply use the name tag?
-
Comment from archie
On www.openseamap.org only tags in namespace "seamarkings" are rendered concerning at least harbours. Why do you bother? It dos not interfere w anything. The information is orderly in its own namespace. Nothing to worry about. Just leave the seamark:-tags where they are if you are not involved in seamark-tagging.

Comment from Hjart
I worry because it's taking up unnecessary space in our database as well as complicating things equally unnecessarily.
Honestly I'm feeling very tempted to remove the crap -
Comment from Hjart
The claim that you are not duplicating tags is complete nonsense. You have given the seamark:name=* tag the exact same value as the existing name=* tag. This to me is practically duplicating tags.

Comment from Hjart
I brought this up on IRC and I'm seeing prominent members of the community agree that the Openseamap namespacing everything needs to stop.

I sent a message to Malcom Herring, who is a major representative of openseamap. I hope he will enter this discussion.

Comment from malcolmh
"name" and "seamark:name" do not necessarily have the same value. An object may be known to mariners by a different name than that used by the local area. For example, harbour may be named after the town by the local community, but may be listed under the name of the operating yacht club in nautical references.
