+1, interpreting the tags on an outer way as tags for a multipolygon object is a hack (for historic reasons) and based only on guessing. If this situation is to stay longer then just temporarily then it is encouraging people to draw overlapping ways in many cases (one to serve as outer way, and one for a linear feature or an area where you don't want a hole to be cut). If we made a simple and clear rule that tags on the relation are applying to the relation, and tags on the way are applying to the way we would not have weird problems like the one Andy gave with the waterway (actually thought we had this clear rule). cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
