In some forms of rendering the boundary is rendered instead of the stream and the water feature disappears on the map. The preferred Australian solution is to not reuse the same boundary but to duplicate it. This allows all renderers and routers to manage the mapping, and sets off warnings in the duplicate nodes systems which makes some mappers then merge the ways again. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
