Sorry for my previous unfinished mail, I didn't want to send it. To summarize what I intended to say:
* I assume that most road shapes are adequately described with just a single outline area for the entire road, and no one has provided a counter example yet. * If everyone mapped road parts as separate areas, it would actually make it *easier* for me to support them in my application. But it seems like an excessive amount of effort for mappers. * For some applications, it will be necessary to reconstruct the entire road from the various separate ways, and I assume that an area around the entire road could reduce the amount of guessing involved. Of course, that's not the purpose the area:highway key was originally invented for. -- Tobias Knerr _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
