Thanks to David and James (on this list) and Anthony from the main talk list for feedback, we've come up with a proposal on giving objects in the OSM DB one or more unique IDs which unlike regular OSM IDs can be shifted from nodes to areas as they are changed.
This proposal will probably not have much benefit for people on this list, unless you run a 3rd party website that uses OSM IDs to reference objects on OSM. However I thought I'd put the ID out there in case anyone has some ideas that were over looked. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/UUID _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
