My guess would be that the boundaries generally do change, but I could be totally wrong. And I think high quality traces are likely to be more accurate than the ABS's data. Anyway, we started this thread talking specifically about coastlines. In that case, the shire/council boundary is surely always the coastline itself, and should be aligned. The question then is not of the coastline moving, but our mapping of the coastline: the ABS boundary should move with it. > For editing (particularly for new users) it is easier to select which one to > edit (particularly in potlatch) and not try to select the correct one using > the appropriate keyboard shortcut which is not immediately apparent. Me, I think ease of editing should rate pretty low compared to quality of rendering or correctness. Incidentally, I have just checked in a new feature to Potlatch which will make it very easy to create colinear ways. Not sure when/if it will appear in the public version.
