I note that the boundary relation has a role for the place name. If the Mapnik styles honor that, it might remove the need for having two names on the map. I don't know whether it does, though; the US seems to have settled on using multipolygon relations for administrative boundaries (probably because that's what the TIGER import used), so I haven't seen boundary relations up close. -- ...computer contrarian of the first order... / http://aperiodic.net/phil/ PGP: 026A27F2 print: D200 5BDB FC4B B24A 9248 9F7A 4322 2D22 026A 27F2 --- -- A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral. -- Antoine de Saint-Exupery ---- --- -- _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
