I have to say i don't quite understand what you are actually proposing with the different scenarios described. Also i have some trouble understanding your proposal in general, could you explain what "the extend of a settlement" is, how i can map this on the ground? Your introductory remark: > It is also a well understood principle of OSM that mapping spatial > features as node is a precursor to the more detailed mapping as area. by the way is wrong. Nodes and areas are two abstract concepts within OSM used to represent elements of reality. While there are features that would normally be represented as areas that are occasionally as a simplified representation mapped as nodes (like a lake) there are also many things that are represented as nodes that should never be attempted to be mapped as areas - either by convention (like place=ocean) or due to their nature (like natural=peak). -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
