what do you mean? In lower zoom levels it looks exactly the same: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=35.32655&lon=-119.07474&zoom=15&layers=M and in closeups you get the detail that otherwise would simply be missing: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=35.325327&lon=-119.068748&zoom=18&layers=M > it is > simply not helpful from a practical point of view.

If the roads are part of the area I agree. This is the difference. A residential road is not part of the lots along it, a military landuse on the other hand has the roads as part of the area. A public road dividing a military area would not be included in the landuse=military, even if it is used by the military. > Or look at the industrial landuse - would you exclude the service roads and > any similar roads not dedicated to through-traffic? I would include roads inside an industrial complex (inside private property) in the landuse, and would exclude the public roads. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
