AFAIK they are conversed into single polygons on DB-import, so they should work with all kinds of tags. > I think I agree with your earlier point that mp's are better than > colinear ways, but colinear ways are still better than parallel ways > for areas that do actually touch. Yes, parallel ways are actually to be considered errors in the case that the polygons really do touch, while colinear ways are simply less elegant but not wrong. I fear though, that laziness will lead to people identifying features as touching, when they actually aren't in the real world (e.g. between 2 fields there is often some rough area, sometimes with a waterway running along, and personally I prefer mapping these fine details, even though it is more work then approximating the situation). cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
