My question was more related to the main renderers (mapnik and osmarender). > While it is true that this would introduce a kind of asymmetry, I > think it would be rather pragmatic as you'd seldom need multiple ways > on the "inner" ring. "Seldom" != "never", so it may be needed. Given tie, I'd show you some cases where it will be needed. > About the GML: > > Out of interest about the whole GML stuff - if you apply the XSLT from > here [...] to your OSM file, does the result even remotely look like the GML > that you originally put in? I won't even bother running it - it is missing things like linearRings, polygons, multiPoligons on the GML side, and relations on the OSM side. It won't look anything like it, provided that I'm tagging the whole relation and not the outer rings. > I have heard people say that GML supports topology, Ha! Given my experiences with GML, it supports topology in some alternate universe only. Even the implementation of the WFS service for the road network was borked - I was missing endpoints of lineStrings and had to hack their coordinates by the bounding box, not to mention how many > move the forest border, and the road moves as well?

They are in two separate layers, which are stored in two separate GML files (or WFS-T live connections). I don't think most GIS software would allow sharing topology between layers. ( See? That's one thing I really like about OSM: everything is in the same layer, everything is topologically connected ) -- ---------------------------------- Iván Sánchez Ortega <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Palabras Textuales #307: "Este monitor no me deja imprimir!"
