I would not recommend this. Although it is more "elegant" from an IT point of view it is utterly vulnerable to break. Relations break up all the time, due to insufficient editor capabilities and unexperienced users (at least for the moment). We shouldn't require the capability to edit relations from the mapper just to enter a street name IMHO. If you do use these relations, please do it in a redundant way and keep the relevant information at the ways as well. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
