Read my second sentence again. Some mappers do not want to draw geometry for some small feature. See e.g. man_made=street_cabinet. There you have a length and width. Together with the key direction one can determine the geometry. I don't see why anyone would want to do it that way instead of simply drawing a box, but I accept the fact, that some users do, so it's fine for me. Best regards, Martin
