Hi Colin, Ok let's follow the analogy between a pipeline and a route. In OSM, it is surely a relation linking several ways together.
Two questions : Do you mean that any covered man made water diverting and transport facility would correspond to a pipeline ? I don't know how to use the OSM accordingly : man_made=pipeline hasn't been designed to fit on relations. How will we deal with "route" pipelines and pipeline ways separately ? Furthermore, what is the difference which we should consider between drains (waterway) and pipeline (man_made) ?
