Hi Dermot,
It probably has to cope with widths that have either m or ft suffix (I have also seen widths in the UK as 6'6" !). Can the style file hack that?
This, of course, is why units really suck in fields that could so easily be strictly numeric...
The OSM wiki says: Describes the width of a way or other map feature. The unit is meters unless otherwise specified. Why didn't they say "the unit is meters" and leave it at that. Completely mad. Cheers, Mark
