[OSM-talk] Valid geometry for closed ways

2010-08-20 Thread Sebastian Klein
Hi, what are valid geometries for closed ways that represent an area? Surely overlapping line segments shouldn't be allowed, but what about ways that contain a certain node more than 1 time? (Except first and last) Example: AB xx || xx D--x E C|| xx F
