I wish we had better ways of indicating the difference between absence of feature and unmapped. I sometimes resort to drawing fences for similar reasons. I've also used landuse=residential to indicate areas that are indeed otherwise unmapped. (http://osm.org/go/uGys1CiI- for an example) Yesterday on a ride I ended up following a dead end bike path, because I gambled that the end of the path was simply unmapped, rather than non-existent. I've since added a forest at the end of the path to try and communicate that the path really doesn't continue. Steve
