Are there any reservations on or near the I-5/I-405 between Canada and Bellevue? I can divert on my way to Issaquah to attempt to ground truth some of this.

That's definitely the wrong question to be asking - whatever is appropriate, it almost certainly isn't going to be rendered by osm.org mapnik as-is. > > The fact that they generally cross admin_level=* boundary=administrative > > boundaries and those boundaries cross them is a pretty strong indication > > that theyre orthogonal to admin_level boundary. > I agree. If they're orthogonal, then why are we trying to shoehorn them into admin_level=* boundary=administrative? There is a strong assumption that admin_level=N areas are geometrically admin_level=M areas, where N>M. Or alternately stated, cities are in states. While there are some exceptions to this, this proposal would break that in almost every case. > > AFAIK, reservations are pretty much unique to Canada, the US and Australia. > > Oddly enough, Ive been to all of those countries. > Lived in two, but not Australia. What about New Zealand for example the > Maori? Because of treaties, how we tag the boundaries, may be universal. Ah yes, I was wondering about NZ. In any case, reservations definitely are not world-wide. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
