[mkgmap-dev] Multipolygon/boundary relations and subrelations

Mon Jul 11 12:14:15 BST 2011

I vote for repairing it. I have read the multipolygon and boundary wiki 
pages again and again and think that they don't allow using the 
boundary-segment relations to compose the complete boundary relation.

Anyhow mapnik does not support using boundary segments and that's a good 
explanation why reverting the edit of Loll78 
(http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/8535622).
