I wouldn't do it like this, even if the USGS does it like this. I would use island for a single island and something else for a group of islands. I wouldn't use "islands" either, because that is too close. Archipelago sounds OK. I wouldn't even require a place tag. A name on the multipolygon could be sufficient (as suggested in my first post). cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
