why is that a problem? i regard this as analogous to breaking a long road up into shorter ways. there is no property that changes at the join of the two ways, but for practical reasons (very long ways are bad), we break a 200km road into shorter pieces. why can this approach not be used for rivers, at least until we come up with something which is more elegant? it will provide a 'recommended' way of tagging wide rivers, something which doesn't exist at the moment. anything is better than nothing _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
