Well, they were before the embankment was created, and they might very well have different names. Would you say it is a single island with two names in that case. and then tag the area way with name_1 and name_2, even though the names only apply to one "weight" on each end of the "dumbell"? I think the islands and the embankment should be defined by three different, but adjoining (common nodes at each end of the embankment) areas. -- Randy _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
