My gut feeling is that if we start using super-relations in a consistent manner, it's more likely that the analyzer (and hopefully the API) will begin supporting them consistantly. In the long run, using super-relations to create relation hierarchy would allow us to separate physical attributes of a way (or node) from the logical attributes of a route. _______________________________________________ >> talk mailing list >> talk@openstreetmap.org >> >> http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk >> > >
