I agree. I think that "residential area", "industrial area" etc include their roads, which are used for residential / industrial access respectively. It would make sense to exclude through-roads, though. I see the "area" kind of landuse marker as being mostly of interested when zoomed out, away from the detail, although of course their boundaries should still be precise. When zoomed in to more detail, individual houses / factories will be the focus of interest. __John _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
