so I it seems your country is doing things just as any other country and you should think about not glueing borders to features. I come back again with some point already mentioned above: additional points of roads for attributes like width or maxspeed, etc.: those will all "curve" the road slightly (because points are never 100% linear in OSM, or keep to be linear after some edits), hence curving the boundary as a result. > So how do you draw adjacent buildings ? you also draw them unglued because > every day, some buildings are somewhere destroyed or modified, then we > should never glue nodes because it possibly will make the next contributor > life a little bit harder when he/she will fix the building ? this is a completely different issue as shared buildings don't just coincidentally share nodes: they are physically connected and will probably remain such even if one building is destroyed and reconstructed, while a boundary will most of the times not move when a river or road moves. A boundary will not become more complex because there is a speed limit introduced to a road. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
