I would myself prefer to use something else to make it easier to tell appart sea/lake/river We have * natural=coastline * waterway=riverbank what about something like natural=lakebank or lakeline or waterline to define lake's bank (Then put all that in a multipolygon relation natural=water) > By the way, why do we call all polygons having holes as multipolygons, > even if they have only one outer ring?

It's not multipolygon in the GIS sense but hey, does that matter ? -- sly Sylvain Letuffe li...@letuffe.org qui suis-je : http://slyserv.dyndns.org _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
