It's just my instinct that we should be tagging the data and letting the renderers worry about rendering algorithms later. However, I agree that there's a balance to be struck. Do relations solve the problem at all? If a track is part of a route relation, then could a renderer use that as a means of aggregating the tracks together? Are there any Mapnik people we can involve in this discussion? Frankie -- Frankie Roberto Experience Designer, Rattle 0114 2706977 http://www.rattlecentral.com
