All ways are duplicated in mkgmap.
When single ways are joined to polygons the new polygons are tagged with
a tag merge of the single ways. The merge uses the "first way wins"
algorithm (which produces a bit random results, but I don't know a
better algorithm).
In the end there is a decision which tags are removed:
- If the original OSM way is a closed polygon then all tags are removed
from the original OSM way.
- Otherwise only tags for polygons are removed (at the moment these are
"boundary", "natural", "landuse", "land_area", "building", "waterway").
This keeps all line tags (like highway) so the original still make use
of their line-tagging.
If the multipolygon contains any of the polygon tags, then all tags of
the multipolygon are copied to the resulting polygons (additionally to
the merge of tags)
