Hello

Now, where we have the latest data, I would like to check and modify all bus stops in my neighbourhood.

But I've 2 Questions:

1. How we handle the current naming: name="Poststrasse" (Tagging-Scheme like http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/EN:Switzerland/DIDOK) or name="Uster, Poststrasse". Due to many bus stops with a name like the second example, I don't know which one I should use.

2. Where I can tell errors in the DIDOK data. As an example I have a case, that the bus stop was correctly imported from DIDOK 2009, but now it hasn't a space between comma and second name anymore. That would be an error in the current DIDOK data, but it's shown as "wrong uic_name...".

Thanks!
