I'm not too bothered HOW things are done, as long as the SAME guidelines are used around the world? At present 'UK' seems to be at odds with 'England' and Co as to their relative status.

The examples that keep being quoted are of 'towns' that straddle state boundaries in the US, but other administrative anomalies are wards and parishes that do not match the higher level town and county boundaries in the UK. Some parts of 'Scotland' are classified as 'England' although THAT is an area where there would probably be local disagreement as to the actual state of play. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/lsces/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
