What type of dog is it? Most I've seen can squeeze through type 1 & scurry over type 3. In the UK I've also seen stone wall with steps built into it & bent metal bars just far enough apart to allow one person to squeeze through. You can differentiate & clarify using the description tag. However this will not get them to render differently. Dave F. _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
