Bloody hell, I know this. The problem is that some of the inholdings touch the boundary, so they're actually outer ways (and the portion of the boundary there is nothing): http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=28.99352&lon=-81.64891&zoom=15&layers=M&relation=1202373 Yet the boundary is still something official. _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
