Yes, don't ignore the bounds when the file is produced by the splitter
but in most other cases you probably do want to ignore the bounds. For
example, if you are using josm and you download more than 1 region and
save the multiple regions in a single file, that file will contain
multiple bounds elements, 1 for each of the downloads. If you don't
tell mkgmap to ignore the bounds elements, it just uses one of them (I
think) and so all of the data that falls outside of that 1 bounded area
will get ignored.

Cheers,
