When an area is uploaded, the area_nodes can just be numbered sequentially, with the outer ring as 0 and the inner rings starting at one and incrementing as a new inner section is discovered. I've recently been contemplating writing a plugin for Osmosis that would transform OSM data into more of a linestring format (i.e., include the lat and lon of each point in a way along with the ref) and consolidate the multipolygons into single entities such as this. It would make a lot of operations a lot easier to perform without having to first store the node locations... Karl
