So, I was looking about using place=region for valleys. At least for the valleys I was looking into, it seems that Italy already has a "boundary=administrative" multipolygon for most of them, although in rare cases some natural features are more detailed than the administrative boundary. Let's take this for example: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/47143 where the administrative boundary matches exactly with the actual valley. I guess in this case I can simply re-use the geometry in a new relation with the proper valley name with type=multipolygon, place=region, region:type=valley? _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
