Is it possible to split a lake between several ways? This is useful if different parts have been surveyed in different ways (e.g. aerial photography for most of the shore, but GPS tracks near a town). /januari 1st 2009 user:Bruce mcadam

Not that I know, but you can see the source code for osm2pgsql and Osmarender if you want to know. Erik Johansson 13:00, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Throwing away good data and confusing the data model

"Redundant tags should be removed from the Way" : this is bad advice. If you do that it makes certain operations much more difficult later on. Also it is mixed abstraction: tag relations with relationship meta-objects (way IDs in database-world); tag physical attributes to geospatial objects (earth coords in a way). --Hamish 15:33, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
