If we can't mark polygons as fuzzy, then we can only allow 'accurate' polygons. Then we are back to square one, with no way of accommodating these regions except for a simple node.
I think the problem is clear (how do we represent regions whose boundaries are not precisely defined). Time to talk about solutions. The status quo is without any guidelines, possibly leading to random creativity according to the whim of the mapper concerned. Another option is to not do it, to say such things have no place in OSM, and actively reject any attempt to do so (i.e. if anyone dares to put "Pays de Bray" or "Shakespeare Country" into OSM, the objects will be deleted and the mapper admonished). Or we go for the single-node approach, and lose out on any clues about the extent of the area concerned. Or we accept "best-guess" polygons with "incremental refinement." Any offers? //colin On 2016-03-27 21:36, Martin Koppenhoefer wrote: > sent from a phone > >> Am 27.03.2016 um 21:16 schrieb Anders Fougner <anders.foug...@gmail.com>: >> >> Did you already consider a fuzzy tag (such as fuzzy=yes or >> boundary_fuzzy=yes)? > > that's a makeshift which isn't quite elegant and still has similar problems > (things that seem to be in might be out and vice versa). > > cheers, > Martin > _______________________________________________ > Tagging mailing list > Tagging@openstreetmap.org > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
