I'm sure it can. But it shouldn't have been imported, because it isn't a real world feature. > - I have encountered one in > my playing with conflation algorithms.

Why can't you just use the way id, and keep the way id <-> TLID table offline? (Yes, the mapping will get messed up as people split and delete and recreate ways, but that's what's happening with the TLIDs anyway.) _______________________________________________ Imports mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/imports
