There are two important differences: 1) The meaning of a particular way or node is separate from the value of is_in. On the other hand, the meaning of a requirement to stop is NOT separate from knowledge of the junction to which it applies. 2) ANY kind of way/node could be marked with is_in. On the other hand, marking the junction to which a requirement to stop applies is only relevant to that particular requirement to stop. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
