not If all routines that create shapes make sure that
they add the identical point to close the shape. In trunk,
this is not always the case, so I use it find those cases.
I'll post a patch later to show my results.

hmm, yes, and the docu for is_closed says
"+true+ the way is closed. +false+ the way is not closed and cannot be
processed as polygon."
that would imply that we should use something like
way.getPoints.size() > 2 && way.hasIdenticalEndPoints()
to evalute is_closed()

The docu only tells you that the way cannot be processed as polygon when isClosed() returns false. It does not give any polygon related statement when it returns true. (This is nit-picking but in this case I think it was the intention of the author (me?!??!)).

So I vote for making the docu more precise and continue with the investigations.
