This depends on the situation. Say you are mapping a public square with a (separately as an area mapped) monument in the middle. Obviously you would need a multipolygon relation, because the highway-area should not cover the monument. But the name of the square should IMHO remain on the way, because the whole square has this name, including the monument. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
