all of them are issues. To recall: My statement was, that a polygon tagged with "surface=xy" should have this surface. If there are parts inside this polygon, that don't have this surface, they should be excluded (multipolygon). This is different to e.g. "landuse", where we map the "predominant" landuse (i.e. there can be small areas within with different landuse). This behaviour should IMHO not apply to surface. If there are different polygons tagged with different surface values that cover the same area, you will have to interpret a non-clear situation, that's why we should try to avoid these situations. In case of the beach you could tag the beach-way as natural=beach, name=xy then create a multipolygon, insert the non-sand surfaces as inners and tag the relation with surface=sand. In my reading you wouldn't have to exclude them with landcover (or say beach:type) sand, as these are less explicit then surface (they implicitly take a more generalized view). cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
