Not at all but the meaning is different: * All relations are some kind of collection caused by design. * You should not use a relation to simply collect/group some objects together. This means I do not need a relation for all "German Autobahns" or all bus lines in a city or even all valleys of a mountain group. Even site-relations should only be used if it does not work without it (several non-connected areas). Another reason I am against this collection is that you might not always have the same borders with the subgroup (valleys). You will need to create a new (sub)-relation to get only part of it into your collection. Please use boundaries and not multipolygons ! cu fly _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
