Hi Sam, I am not familiar with the rendering but it may be a good idea. It will not be difficult to merge the ways but doing that we lose the nat_ref (GeobaseI_id) that allows the link with original GeoBase. In 6 months may be we will not need the nat_ref unless we would like to keep a link with Geobase for update purposes.
Let see what other people think.
