+1. public streets are not part of it. Have a look how others deal
with this at a scale of 1:2000 (zoom 18).

Splitting it at roads gives no benefit and complicates editing greatly. This
is just ridiculous:

how does that complicate anything? Connecting roads to landuses and
other areas complicates editing greatly. A mapping like the above
eases editing and is more precise then a huge landuse-polygon. I don't
find anything ridiculous in this.

While on the whole I agree, it does get a little tricky where the roads are perhaps not so neatly delineated. http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=52.0732&lon=-1.82203&zoom=17&layers=M still needs a bit more work, but while some of the 'service roads' are just that, others are actually tarmac for the full area between builds, with some areas of it being used as parking, and it is describing these differences that impinges on this fine detailing of 'industrial area' ... we still have to improve on the micro-mapping guide lines ...
