Right, thanks, it isn't writing the top bits as it should.

Although as you've discovered we don't have more than 255 points in a
way and there never seems to be more than one road segment in a
roaddef, so at the moment it isn't possible for us to overflow 8 bits.

But you are right and I will fix that before commiting.

Yes I believe that is the case.
