Actually, that would be the just the 1st step. meaning that; On those
mapped areas where say - if the actual shapes were imported, you would see
'ghost lines'. .. this is not preferred. So, by just seeing the reference
points, then these shapes can be drawn in
Thanks Tom D,
storage requirements, which is why I have concerns about creating tens
of millions of nodes which have many duplicated tags or which will wind
up never being used and will just be deleted again.
If it's only 10 tiles of 12539, why bother with importing anything at all

So we would discard the knowledge of the sequence in which the

Well if I've understood correctly then what you're suggesting is that we
add what amounts to presumably some tens of millions of nodes each of
which would presumably have a large number of highly duplicative tags.
If that is what you're saying

By having the roads which were not mapped available as nodes to be traced,
Doesn't get my vote. If it's a feature already why would we want to have to
recreate it manually. Also by just importing nodes how can we
visually/easily tell what nodes relate to what feature, especially if
features overlap or cross.
I can understand the difficulty in adding new data into

So far, it looks like the majority of the country would be able to
accept a full import of everything... except the roads. .. it's only 10
or so tiles that nothing would be imported (just nodes), and less than
100 where only roads would be omitted.

Sounds very esoteric, and it will also create a huge inflation of node
tags (something that
