Hi,

So? The idea is to generalize the MapCSS syntax.

That sounds like a good idea.

I went to SOTM with the plan to secretly push a proper area object for API 0.7, only to find out that it was already clear to every sane person that we need this, so no pushing was required.

So if it can be avoided to somehow infect MapCSS with the idea that "area = closed way with some tags", that would have the nice effect of making it work with future OSM data formats as well.

(As of yet, is it completely open *how* areas will be implemented. There are suggestions here http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/API_v0.7#Areas and here http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Frederik_Ramm/Ideas_for_API_0.7#Area_Data_Type but it has not been thoroughly discussed and of course the MapCSS list is the least suitable place for it.)

Bye
Frederik
