I feared as much. Is there an easy way in JOSM to see tile boundaries? You see them in potlach, but I haven't found an easy way to add a node to an existing way there. Or what is the best method to ensure that these kinds of ways will be rendered? Put nodes at no more than x distance from each other? This will work for sufficiently small values of x, but how small? How much overlap does the client take? Maarten -- "I announced to the spectators that he [Ivanisevic] could not carry on because of lack of appropriate equipment.
