Add support for roofs
It would be really helpful if iD would support setting the "roof:*" properties similar to how adresses can be edited on buildings.
From what I understood so far "address" is a special type of field. It would be a nice enhancement to allow these multi-value type of field definitions to be done in json as well.
If that would be in place it would be awesome to have: "roof:shape" as a "combo" "roof:orientation" as a checkbox for "along/across" "roof:height" as integer
I would like to implement some improvements for maping buildings, including a way to map roof shapes more easily. I have something in mind that is similar to the graphical aproach of the app streetcomplete:
Where in the code is the edit menu for buildings defined? I would like to try a few things locally and then come back and make some suggestions.

Currently it's just defined as a field that fetches values from taginfo: https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/blob/master/data/presets/fields/building.json
Ah I see. Is it possible to put Icons as Labels in theese files or is this a text only field?

Currently text only, but adding support for icons would be useful. https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/blob/master/modules/ui/combobox.js
Does this preset files define wich fields are displayed in the menu? (/presets/presets!) https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/blob/6ce2c5ea46b6bb89f8a3a3dd9d5794a920bbf610/data/presets/presets/building.json
I added a Roof Color (roof:colour) field in the last release since it's a self-explanatory property that's readily visible in imagery. The other roof: tags would not make very user-friendly fields:
I was going to see about making a pull request to have the roof:shape common values as per the wiki in the iD editor, as it's annoying to have to use manual tagging so much when it has presets for some things (and sometimes then we get typos)
But the link above to the iD scheme json is broken - looks like iD may have been refactored since. Can someone point me/us/anyone to the current way to define a tag field in iD ?
Started a pull request with what looks like the right tag values from the wiki - hopefully if not correct it'll at least get something moving. https://github.com/openstreetmap/id-tagging-schema/pull/1552
