Dave F,
Please read the link on multipolygons:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Multipolygon
Thanks for this link - there is always something to learn!
By making your edits you now incorrectly made Rydal Water a part of
the River Rothay multi-polygon.
Oops - I should have picked that up. I will correct it.
The natural=water tag is included in the multi-polygon. Adding it to
the way is an unnecessary & confusing duplication. To avoid this
confusion I often put a note tag explaining where the data is stored.
Good idea.
Remember that just because you think the potlach editor is displaying
data incorrectly it doesn't actually mean the the data is wrong. In
this example the lake doesn't have to be shaded blue to be correct.
It's how the renderers handle it that matters.
It's a pity if the default on-line editor renders 'incorrect' tagging in
a more intuitive way than 'correct' tagging. This is not very helpful to
the less experienced mapper (such as me).
Thanks again for your advice.
Roger
