on the way that marks the boundary of lakes etc. I would expect the ele key to tag the average height of the water surface, since that is what is constant on the whole lake other points inside the lake may have the height of the ground part, as appropriate, e.g. to mark things like deepest points etc. -- Elena ``of Valhalla'' homepage: http://www.trueelena.org email: [email protected] _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
