On a related note, what's the appropriate way to map suburb-sized 
areas that are partitions? A way for each suburb that share nodes 
along common borders, a way for each suburb that don't duplicate 
nodes along common borders, or using a single way for the border and 
using a relation?


I might express and opinion about suburb mapping as I’ve done a 
fair bit of “mapping for the validator” which I suppose is not 
evil, unlike mapping for the renderer.


I’d prefer relations that depend on single ways, this avoids JOSM 
complaining too much about duplicate ways and can also tie into the 
definition in words that might belong in Wikipedia.


This (and Ian's) sounded like pretty good advice, so I have uploaded a 
boundary for Randwick based on Andrew's OSM version of the ABS 
SSC_2011_AUST, checked and manually adjusted by eyeballing Bing vs SIX 
and the Council's PDF map, and simplified by hand.


The changeset is here: 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/22023461, does anyone have any 
comments about how it could be improved?


I noticed that as for many suburbs in SA, since I replaced the 
place=suburb node previously used the name of the suburb is no longer 
rendered. What's best practice here, do we really want to different 
entities with the same name?

Hi.

I seem to remember there is a way to add the node to a relation so that it
marks where the name should go for the boundary.
