If I am reading this thread correctly, I think John's problem is that the RELATION is not totally attributed to ABS, and so only those element that were imported should be attributed while other unattributed data will be added at the relation level? ADDITIONAL ways added to the relation that are not from the original import should not be attributed to ABS and so a bot that blindly strips information without understanding the nature of that data SHOULD NOT BE RUNNING ? I can imaging a number of situations where the initial information would have a common set of tags that COULD be interpreted as applying to the relation level, but then latter additions require all of that 'tidying' to be undone manually to put the correct data back :( And this seems to be the case here? -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
