+1 place=island is used to identify noteworthy places that are isolated enough to justify a label at a low zoom. Unfortunately, people started applying it to tiny non-isolated islands (eg in rivers), so the rendering seems to be suppressed. So it would be wrong to apply it to a single island in a group, and correct to apply it to a multipolygon. Which doesn't mean it will be rendered, however. These, for instance are universally known as the Scilly Isles. Except on OSM. http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=49.92&lon=-6.306&zoom=9&layers=M Richard _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
