I think it gets easier when you think of a relation as a data structure that allows to combine links to other objects with tags. That's what it is, nothing more. Only the tags give a hint about the meaning of this combination, and one always has to bear in mind that different mappers might see different meanings, not talking about simple errors.
This is also the explanation for the problems reg. the consumers and editors. Without a general rule each type of relation needs a lot of code to allow rendering and proper editing support. A relation type that is not often used or that is used with unclear meaning is not likely to find a supporting programmers. -- Sent from: http://gis.19327.n8.nabble.com/Tagging-f5258744.html _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
