I am not quite shore how to handle the following two dilemmas: 1.If a rendering system renders the planet-sea area objects (instead of planet-land area objects), is then Antarctica a hole in the global ocean object or the global ocean object simply ends by the upper border-line of Antarctica?
2.There are around 25460 objects in the class defined by the tag natural=land in the latest dump. The wiki documentation for the same tag says "This tag should not be used". How to interpret this? Are editors refusing data with this tag? Should we ignore the data with this tag in the dumps? Looking at different OSM based maps I see that I am not the only one confused with the issue. Unfortunately, the class contains area objects related to all water types/classes so, this is not just rendering them at certain stage. In vector mapping, as you certainly know, it is much more complicated. Thanks for suggestions/meanings. Sandor
