Good to see that the most extreme option being considered here is still one step less than Wikipedia’s “delete anything for which we don’t have notarised permission from an identifiable individual who has proven their ownership of the work being contributed”!

Automatic POI->Building?

Posted by OJW on 1 March 2012 in English.

For a moment there I thought JOSM had done something surprisingly cool. I can't make it happen again though so maybe I was dreaming...

When you draw a building using the Buildings tool/plugin, and the building you create contains a POI node such as a pub or cafe or restaurant or bank... should JOSM apply those POI tags to your new building and remove the node?
