I read it and has some valid points :) UTF16 handling is not yet my thing. I presume I could also implement this in my Planet extractor. Or do you already have a simple generator for this? > There is nowadays no provision fur updates/diff, although the > region-based paradigm allows specific updates. Jup; I see where you come from, and I guess this always requires compromises: - Empty space in the document (easy for compression) - Allow 'stackable' documents if this is all implemented per tile, it shouldn't be any problem; just ask the server to give all diffs from time X to Now. - Use separate files for strings and indices. I would like the combination of solution 2 and 3 the most. Stefan _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
