Even this might depend on the "type" / key/value. And as landuse is not describing actual landuse (sometimes it is landcover, see landuse=grass) this rule is IMHO not even valid for landuse. How else would you describe a "forest" on a brownfield or greenfield? Or on a landfill? I'd say generally it is OK to make overlapping polygons, but some combinations (e.g. landuse=industrial and landuse=residential, or 2 overlapping polygons both with landuse=residential) are not valid / do not make sense. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
