Just do be sure that I don't misunderstand you again:

This way:
<way id="115031489" timestamp="2011-05-26T23:47:10Z" uid="74617" user="JohnSmith" visible="true" version="1" changeset="8258292">
<nd ref="1300468480"/>
<nd ref="1301344689"/>
<nd ref="1301344690"/>....

and one of the ways I've posted before,

and a Mapnik excerpt showing this way,

and for example a written way description ("On the last junction before Kempsey Airport take the road to the left, follow its course southeast and later northeast and after about 800m you will reach the end of the hamlet.")

are all different expressions of the same fact, right?

If not, I'm sorry that I can't follow you.

Bye, Andreas
