Sorry, I was off on nature_reserve. But my point is that we have fill sometimes and sometimes not, and that focusing on thinking about boundary seems to lead to not filling, and I think that's unfortunate. It's at high zooms that I think the fill is needed; some of these are large enough that zooming in means the border isn't showing. > Military areas and tourist areas (zoos, theme parks) are also rendered > with outlines in red and purple. Military at least also has a fill pattern, so they are not just observable from the edges. I have no problem with special edges; my complaint is the decision that no fill is necessary. _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
