This is always a risk :) > Firstly - as Thomas pointed out - mapnik likes one feature per way. > Secondly - landuse=grass is not rendered at the moment (because of the > vast disagreement on the whole landuse/natural/grass thing). A further complexity, certainly. The amusing thing is, I only started using landuse=grass very recently, after deciding that recreation_ground was probably not a good tag for what we're describing here. > What I am guessing you have on the ground is a residential square with a > road round the outside and a grassy bit in the middle.

Well, a technical limitation is just that - if it can't be done, we need to live with it. The end result is certainly unintuitive, though, since the only area tag named (the landuse) isn't the style that gets applied to the area. I feel the workaround coming on...
