Except that a superstructure of elements is already implemented (a relation). > Personally, I don't want either of those. I want the way to be whatever > logical unit is used for routing. This seems selfish (but thanks for being honest :)). Not everyone uses OSM for routing. The ultimate, all-inclusive goal should always be an accurate map of what exists in the world. (By the way, don't forget that a "way" is just "a series of nodes". A "way" itself has no meaning until given one with tags. For example, a building outline is a way, but you certainly can't be routed around a building outline.) _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
