The number of stations is quite small, so people will find a way to deal with it. Probably by re-adding nodes until the area advocates give up. On Wed, Dec 18, 2013 at 8:02 PM, Copro Grammes wrote: > OK! > Just one question: what do you mean saying "Having separate node and area > doesn't usuall

The label role would be a solution, but unfortunately it isn't supported by the major renderers (afaik). So for the moment we stick with having the tags on the label node. Since the label is usually fairly obvious, having separate node and area doesn't usually create too many problems. So the main
