How do you define summer holidays? surely on its own it is not helpful. It will require a database of when holidays are, based on location. A business which serves multiple local authorities will straddle all those areas holidays. Phil (trigpoint) -- Sent from my Nokia N9 On 14/03/2014 8:48

Layer= tag clearly (logically) implies that some data is above or below some other data. At least to my logic. From this logic, layer=-1 means the object is rendered beneath anything that has layer=0 (or, conversely, that anything with layer=0 is rendered on top of anything with layer=-1). It

Setting the river to layer=-1, and the bridge to layer=0 (or 1) avoids a range of rendering artefacts when roads have casings (which they usually do). Good practice is only applying that to a shortish section of river, obviously. I don't know why the wiki has a statement against it - it always
