I find it surprising something as arbitrary as size is used as the
defining factor. Comparing actual tags would surely make more sense.
well, size surely has some correlation with importance. For practical
reasons it is generally working quite well to have first render the
bigger stuff and then render the smaller stuff on top, because it
leads typically to less covering.
This, IMO, is lazy rendering & should be discouraged. To allow the
smaller stuff to display is one of the reason mutli-polygons were
developed. Refer also to the layer tag which is disappointingly under
used by renderers.
In this particular case more detailed mapping of the tree areas could
solve it, e.g. split the wood object at the cutting roads and
waterways, but admittedly in this case by looking at the bing aerial
imagery it seems indeed to be a continuity of trees on both sides of
these.
That's mapping incorrectly to suit the renderer &, for obvious reasons,
should be criticized.
