from my experience many are not even aware that there was a multipolygon involved in their edit when they break them. I think there are already a lot of pictures on these pages, and some of the "rules" added are recommendations or already inherent in other rules. E.g. * "Member ways MUST have two or more nodes" --- all ways must have 2 or more nodes * "Exactly two unclosed ways belonging to a role, and no more should share an endpoint (eg. the most extreme nodes of a way represented by the black dot in the images). If an endpoint is shared by less than two unclosed ways, the polygon can't be closed and is ill formed. invalid example 1 If an endpoint is shared by more than two unclosed ways, it's ill formed and a closed polygon can't be reconstructed unambiguously. invalid example 2" this is saying that you can't have 2 touching inner rings with a shared inner way, but you can according to previous docs. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
