No, we could continue to use multipolygon relations for that. I just wanted to point out that our existing primitives are "simple" ones: no compound objects, no holes, only one single coherent object. The new area primitive would be different from that (which of course is not necessarily an argument against it). Regards, Marc -- Der GMX SmartSurfer hilft bis zu 70% Ihrer Onlinekosten zu sparen!
