I've thought about it a bit, and now I know I see it more as a fence=yes tag on the main tag, I won't draw the geometry for the fence, it's not worth it. But I got some flak from Dee on this as well. So obviously there are lots of people who think it's bad doing this. So I guess the final say is how this is handled by the tools that use the . If they can handle stuff like this with ease, then I see no reason to duplicate a way just to add a fence, or making it over complicated by letting two ways share nodes or a multipolygon from multipleways.. I consider over zealous use of multipolygons and node sharing harmfull for OSM. -- /emj _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
