Hello guys, Here's a question. Some thousands of place=island nodes were imported from the GNS database. Should we replace/delete these nodes on favor of the coastline ways?
The OSM Wiki says that place=island can be applied to either a node or a way. And since I've been replacing POI nodes and amenity=* nodes with an outline (either landuse=* or building=yes) if the outline is traceable, I think that I should do the same for islands, at least for those place=island nodes that obviously correspond to a coastline way. In addition, the Good practices page <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Good_practice> on the OSM Wiki says "One feature, one OSM-object". Thus island nodes should be replaced with island coastline ways. If the island is large, use a multipolygon relation to group the complete set of coastlines. If we agree to delete the nodes, what do we do with the GNS tags? Move them to the ways? Delete them altogether? What do you guys think? Eugene
