I agree, multipolygons tend to become complexer by the time. The solution to this problem is granularity, splitting bigger landuse areas into smaller ones, which are locally limited and allow for more transparency, faster parsing times and easier editability because you don't need multipolygons for mapping landuse. > If we could default a larger admin_level polygon to a landuse (e.g. > residential, farm) then it significantly reduces the mapping clutter.

IMHO this is exactly driving us into a multipolygon mess, hard to edit and timeconsuming to use, with unneeded complexity. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
