It is a short-lived fringe benefit. I believe all the editors will need to be able to show/hide certain classes of ways eventually. With the city and county boundaries imports, it is already becoming hard to edit roads since they often have a boundary running down them.
In places where you have, say, a road, a city line, a residential-landuse boundary and soon addressing interpolation ways in almost the same place, it is not easy for the newcomer to keep from accidentally cross-connecting things. /Stellan _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
