And yet state and county borders are already in OSM. You seem to not be paying attention to my point: that if we DON'T have these important legal boundaries in OSM, people will add them. Don't believe me? Try deleting the New York State border with Pennsylvania, and see how long it takes for somebody to revert your edit, or worse, add it back in as a new set of nodes and ways. Yes, I acknowledge your point about people being able to edit things, and being able to verify things on the ground. If (as I assert) it's not possible to keep these things out of the map, shouldn't we take steps to ensure that when they're in the map, they're as correct as they can be? -- Russ Nelson - http://community.cloudmade.com/blog - http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:RussNelson r...@cloudmade.com - Twitter: Russ_OSM - http://openstreetmap.org/user/RussNelson _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
